For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without ...

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that ...

Multipurpose structures could find use in targeted drug delivery, catalysis, microelectronics and tissue engineering ...

Researchers discovered that when atoms interact and remain entangled with light, they emit stronger, more coordinated bursts ...

Using intense X-rays, researchers captured a buckyball as it expanded, split and shed electrons under strong laser fields.

Thorium-229's unique nuclear transitions may lead to a revolutionary nuclear clock, with enhanced stability and sensitivity ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough in overcoming one of the most persistent challenges hindering the commercialization of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor ...

In the early 20th century, the development of quantum mechanics fundamentally changed our understanding of atomic and ...

UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...

A scientist analyzing Fermi telescope data found a strange glow around the Milky Way that looks like it could be coming from ...

String theory unifies all the forces of nature. Forces that seem very different, such as gravity and electricity, are deeply related to one another. The forces are linked by so-called dualities: the ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...
