Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from ...

Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

The experiment at CERN produced pairs of electron and positron beams, propagating into an ambient plasma. The international team of researchers found that the beams were narrow and nearly parallel, ...

On July 4, 2012, researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland announced with great fanfare that they had ...

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional understanding of material behavior and hinting at a mysterious “new duality” ...

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the ...

Albert Einstein, everyone’s favorite wild-haired genius with a mischievous grin, is more than just a pop culture icon whose legend lives on today. He’s arguably the most influential scientist of the ...

Ghost particles' can zoom through you without a trace. Scientists are getting to the bottom of this cosmic mystery ...
