Researchers have for the first time measured the true properties of individual MXene flakes—an exciting new nanomaterial with ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That’s normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...

The discovery honored with this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics takes phenomena observed in the subatomic world—the ...

The best teachers really grasp the concepts they're educating students on. There's a reason for that and you can harness the memory power of teaching, too.

A study led by Howard Chen looks to explain what NASA space telescopes are missing in the search for life beyond Earth.

“The mass and the antiparticle nature of neutrinos can be studied by measuring the radioactive beta and double-beta decays of ...

A new experiment confirms that angular momentum conservation holds even when a single photon is split into two.

Astrophysicists have presumed for nearly a century that the universe will just keep expanding for all eternity, driven by an ...

An international team has confirmed that large quantum systems really do obey quantum mechanics. Using Bell’s test across 73 ...

At 47 years of age, Emi Bossio was feeling good about where she was. She had a successful law practice, two growing children ...

Last year’s honor went to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, two American scientists who discovered microRNA, bits of genetic material that help control how cells behave.
