Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have demonstrated a new kind of vacuum ultraviolet laser that is 100 to 1,000 times more efficient than existing technologies of its kind. The ...

My academic path studying physics at Tsinghua University began in 1981 where I completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s before earning a PhD in 1992. I then did a postdoc at the Central Iron & Steel ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

Ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn't work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like decor and personal accessories, generative artificial intelligence (genAI) ...

Quantum computers use qubits, which are based on quantum physics, allowing them to solve complex problems far faster than ...

Master inclined plane problems using the work-energy method in this detailed physics lesson! This video demonstrates how to apply the principles of work and energy to calculate velocities, forces, and ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up ...

Anna Behrend is a self-taught data journalist who has found in data-driven reporting and visualization a way to combine her academic background in science with her creative interests.

To stay up to date and work forward in their fields, scientists must have at their fingertips and in their minds thousands of published studies. Large language models (LLMs) show promise as a tool for ...

The development will improve control over the condition of natural objects and will save on the import of equipment.
