According to a new study, microplastics in the air in Xi'an city, China, more than tripled during the time period of their ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a new approach that addresses the limitations of generative AI ...

In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work ...

A bladeless turbine design converts the static electricity naturally generated by dust particles in compressed air into ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly ...
