The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.

Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., ...

For instance, once a skater leaps into the air, they’re stuck with however much angular momentum they’ve created. But a ...

The future of computing lies in the surprising world of quantum physics, where the rules are much different from the ones ...

For decades, astronomers have looked to the outer reaches of the cosmos for answers to our most fundamental questions: Where ...

Asteroids might seem like peaceful drifters suspended in space, but they’re really disturbed, spinning and tumbling in ...

Lancaster University has created a new spin-out company, Photarix, to pioneer secure communications in the quantum era.

"With these probability maps, we can push asteroids away while preventing them from returning on an impact trajectory, ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

Identifying the gravitational waves from black holes binaries could also make it clearer to detect primordial gravitational ...

Scientists are closer to creating a quantum spin liquid, a state where electron spins stay dynamic even at near absolute zero, key for future quantum computing.
