Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That’s normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...

The discovery honored with this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics takes phenomena observed in the subatomic world—the ...

John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis discovered quantum physics on a macroscopic scale, paving the way for quantum ...

A ccording to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Prize in Physics was to go to "the person who shall have made the most important ...

A single speck of light—captured inside a lab at Oxford—turned the abstract into the tangible. It didn’t just win a prize; it showed that we ...

How Physicists' Clever Bookkeeping Trick Could Underlie Reality. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ha ...

Researchers from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and CIBER-BBN, in collaboration with teams from the ...

NASA’s IMAP mission will explore the heliosphere and study how it shields Earth from cosmic radiation and space weather.

Could black holes help explain the origins of high-energy cosmic radiation? The universe is filled with many forms of ...
