Close encounters between kaons and deuterons help to elucidate quantum chromodynamics in a challenging mass range. In 2015 and 2018, the LHC smashed together lead ions at an energy of 5.02 ...

Quantum fluids exhibit turbulence in ways both similar to and distinct from their classical counterparts. The most common shared feature is the flow of energy from large to small scales, transferred ...

Using sheets of light to corral waves of ultracold atoms, researchers have created an experimental platform for studying the ...

Researchers have used radio observations of rapidly spinning neutron stars to search for signals from supermassive black hole pairs at the dawn of galaxy formation. In our lifetimes, an amazing thing ...

A new formalism yields the quantities that characterize a conventional superconductor without adjustable parameters. In a typical superconductor, 휉 and 휆 are tens to hundreds of nanometers, distances ...

The Rubin Observatory has spotted a distant object that could join Pluto in the Solar System’s exclusive family of dwarf ...

Metals typically rely on electrons to transport heat, but one has been identified that conducts heat efficiently through both electrons and phonons. Materials that have high thermal conductivity ...

Researchers have proposed that structural disorder can be harnessed to generate coherent, directional light from the passage of a charged particle. When a charged particle such as a relativistic ...

More than a century after scientists envisioned artificial photosynthesis and fusion power, neither has achieved widespread use—but slow progress is no reason to give up. This image, captured by the ...
