The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer ...

Scientists are like prospectors, excavating the natural world seeking gems of knowledge about physical reality. And in the century just past, scientists have dug deep enough to discover that reality’s ...

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

Inspired by an artist's stencils, researchers have developed atomic-level precision patterning on nanoparticle surfaces, ...

Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for ...

Researchers developed a method to pattern gold nanoparticles with atomic precision, creating patchy particles with new shapes ...

Tiny solid particles — like pollutants, cloud droplets and medicine powders — form highly concentrated clusters in turbulent environments like smokestacks, clouds and pharmaceutical mixers. What ...

Quantum technology can process an enormous amount of data and solve complex problems in seconds rather than decades. Remarkably, quantum technology first appeared in the early 1900s. It originated ...

As stellarator configurations are challenging to build, most fusion experiments today are tokamaks (a short form for a Russian expression that translates as ‘toroidal chamber with magnetic coils’).

Chinese manufacturing giant BYD has unveiled a new energy storage system which boasts record-breaking capacity, double that of a Tesla Megapack, and with the potential to lead another reduction in ...
