Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy transitions in the nuclei of atoms and could become the most precise clock on ...

In a study recently published in Nature Physics, Qimiao Si's group at Rice University collaborated with researchers from the Weizmann Institute to ...

Chemists may soon have one less rigorous step to worry about when searching for the right molecules to accomplish their highly specific innovation needs. Scientists have now built a new machine ...

The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources convened March 19 for a full committee hearing to examine the Department ...

Six thousand eight hundred feet below the floor of an active nickel mine in northern Ontario, something has gone extremely cold. Not cold in the way of a walk-in freezer, or a liquid nitrogen tank, or ...

A theoretical study posted to arXiv in early 2026 argues that magnetic skyrmions, tiny whirlpool-like spin textures inside magnets, can emerge from ordinary atomic-scale interactions rather than ...

Our physicists are taking quantum science to extraordinary new depths - more than a kilometre below the earth's surface. As part of the new QuASAR ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has confirmed the existence of a doubly charmed baryon, a particle that behaves like a heavier cousin of the proton but contains two charm quarks instead of the lighter ...

Bridging Nanoscale Precision and Quantum Power Quantum computing used to sound like something out of science fiction, ...

A recent line of inquiry explores how atomic systems behave when immersed in curved spacetime, particularly under the influence of gravitational waves. In a new study, scientists show that ...

Static electricity may seem simple. Students often learn that rubbing a balloon against their hair will cause negatively ...
