Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...

New study reveals how quantum entanglement is transferred in ultrafast photoionisation experiments, offering us insights into how quantum information develops from microscopic to macroscopic scales ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Mars 'I was not looking for this': Scientist accidentally finds shortcut to Mars that could slash travel time in half Space Scientists spot object beyond Pluto with an atmosphere that shouldn't exist ...

Batteries fail over time because their internal materials do not stay in place, and new research shows that this movement is far more dynamic than previously thought. The finding could change how ...

What if particles don't slow down in a crowd, but move faster? Physicists from Leiden worked together and discovered a new state of matter, where particles pass on energy through collisions and create ...

In the supplemental material the experimental setup is shown (see top image), which is designed to make the individual iron-coated polymer particles rotate. The particles are called Janus particles ...

If you've ever watched a flock of birds move in perfect unison or seen ripples travel across a pond, you've witnessed nature's remarkable ability to coordinate motion. Recently, a team of scientists ...

When NASA’s Stardust mission flew through a comet’s tail, it attempted something never done before — catching particles moving nearly 19 times faster than the speed of sound. At those speeds, even ...
