Medicine & TechnologySingle photon switches, which can turn physical processes on or off by using only a single packet of light, have far-reaching implications for quantum photonic technologies - and a new breakthrough makes it one step closer to realization.
Earlier this month, physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) near Chicago reported the results of the Muon g-2 experiment - and a study released the same day challenges decades of study on the subject.
Using soundwaves, a team of University of Utah engineers and mathematicians demonstrated how to arrange carbon nanoparticles in water in a never-repeating pattern.
A new theory addresses the "three-body problem," a centuries-old problem in physics and classical mechanics that predicts the motion of three gravitating bodies in space consistent with Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation.
In investigating all possible mitigation technologies, including those seemingly from the movies, scientists from the United States are looking at nuclear detonations to protect Earth from dangerous asteroids.
A team of engineering researchers has taken a step forward in understanding turbulence with a new visualization of how vortices behave in a quantum fluid
In a new discovery regarding graphene, two research teams independently discovered a particular graphene system whose electrons "freeze" as temperature rises.
Physicists recently said they have discovered probable signs of a fifth fundamental force of nature showing findings coming from a study carried out at a laboratory near Chicago.
