An experimental setup mimics a “black hole bomb” first theorized in 1971. The spinning cylinder with circuitry is true to the ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak ...

Physicists have created a model of a black hole bomb in the lab for the first time, verifying a theory first proposed more ...

One of the most fundamental questions in nuclear physics is how many neutrons can be bound in an atomic nucleus with a given number of protons. For the fundamental isotope hydrogen, which contains ...

Researchers captured the first-ever images of atoms freely interacting in space, offering a rare glimpse into quantum ...

The NIST-F4 atomic clock, recently unveiled by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, is one of the most accurate timekeeping devices ever built on Earth. This clock ...

Researchers have discovered a way to use mirrors to dramatically reduce the quantum noise that disturbs tiny particles -- a breakthrough that might seem magical but is rooted in quantum physics ...

A new class of organometallic compound has been made that has a distinctive geometry and electronic structure — with potential for catalysis and materials science. The interaction between the ...

Efficient interconversion between electrical and spin signals is critical for the development of spin-based electronics. While the typical approach is to enhance spin-orbit coupling, this usually ...

Werner Heisenberg submitted a paper to Zeitschrift für Physik entitled ‘On quantum-theoretical reinterpretation of kinematic and mechanical relationships’, thus giving birth to quantum mechanics. In ...
