The model does not depend on hypothetical particles or new laws of physics. It is using the same degeneracy pressure that ...

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.

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

Penn State scientists have devised a new method to predict superconducting materials that could work at higher temperatures.

An extrapolation technique aims to address the gap between Hall effect thruster performance in space and in laboratory ...

The path toward realizing practical quantum technologies begins with understanding the fundamental physics that govern ...

Physicists chilled a sugar crystals then used them to search for dark matter. This new project is called SWEET.

Understanding how matter reorganizes as its density increases is a central question in particle and condensed-matter physics. Yet in quantum systems governed by strong interactions, finding analytical ...

These are some of the deadliest crowd crushes and stampedes ever recorded — and each one changed how the world thinks about ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be changing over time. Dark energy, the mysterious force causing the universe to ...

Between 2008 and 2010, polarization in society increased dramatically alongside a significant shift in social behavior: the ...

Nearly 60 years ago, the original Star Trek series ignited a dream in the public’s imagination: that one day, people would travel the galaxy in ships propelled by faster-than-light “warp drives.” The ...
