As the number of particles in a physical system increases, its properties can change and different phase transitions (i.e., shifts into different phases of matter) can take place. Microscopic systems ...

Scientists have found an intriguing discrepancy in the way electrons behave in different calcium atoms. The difference ...

For the first time, a research team led by Markus Koch from the Institute of Experimental Physics at Graz University of ...

Every action in physics is governed by some kind of push or pull. As far as we know, these all fall into one of just four ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to ...

Quantum computers have been delivered to supercomputing centers in Japan and Poland. QuEra this week announced it has officially installed its first quantum computer outside of its own labs, at ...

It's difficult to overstate just how surprisingly early to the party this water may have been. “This suggests that water, the ...

Herein we propose atom-by-atom iterative synthesis (AIS) as a new synthetic logic to tackle this challenge. By viewing complex organic molecules as assemblies of single-carbon- or heteroatom-based ...

Flamingos, pelicans, herons and parrots are just a few of the wild birds that call Miami home, but it’s the roosters, hens and baby chicks that have come to rule the roost in recent years.
