In a significant development in the field of superconductivity, researchers at The University of Manchester have successfully achieved robust superconductivity in high magnetic fields using a newly ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Physicists have created a one dimensional gas out of light particles for the first time. Studying how the photon gas behaves could help researchers discover some yet-unknown quantum optical effects.

What just happened? Physicists have managed to turn light particles into what they describe as an "exotic state of matter" – a one-dimensional gas. They did this by confining the photons in a tiny ...

How would our world be viewed by observers moving faster than light in a vacuum? Such a picture would be clearly different from what we encounter every day. We should expect to see not only phenomena ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
