At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

Researchers at Santa Clara University have developed a comprehensive mathematical framework to rigorously analyze and predict ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have dreamed of seeing the hidden patterns that govern the motion of nonlinear waves—the unpredictable ripples that shape tsunamis, tides, and turbulent flows. Now, ...

On January 14, 2025, a pair of black holes with nearly identical masses crashed together roughly 1.2 billion light-years away, producing a gravitational wave signal so clean and powerful that it ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

In a potential boon for quantum computing, physicists have shown that topologically protected quantum states can be entangled with other, highly manipulable quantum states in some electronic materials ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team led by Dominik Schneble, PhD, Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has uncovered a novel regime, or set of conditions within a system, for cooperative ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Once thought to be sailors’ myths, rogue waves gained credibility after a towering 80-foot wall of water struck the Draupner oil platform in 1995. New research shows that these extreme waves don’t ...
