In physical systems, transport takes many forms, such as electric current through a wire, heat through metal, or even water ...

Astrophysicists show how and when specific particles form and offers clues to questions that have troubled scientists since the 1940s. For decades, scientists have been trying to solve a vexing ...

Physicists recorded the lowest-energy neutrino event yet, using signals from the particles’ antimatter counterpart produced in a nuclear reactor. Reading time 4 minutes Neutrinos are everywhere. About ...

For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein’s general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time. Quantum mechanics governs the world of particles ...

A collaborative team of physicists and microbiologists from UNIST and Stanford University has, for the first time, uncovered the fundamental laws governing the distribution of self-propelled particles ...

IN 1977, physicist Frank Wilczek took a walk that would change the course of particle physics forever. “On that walk, I had the germs of two really good ideas,” he recalls. The first was how a ...

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could ...
