This is the entirely Caserta-based discovery of the 'Munerotto Twin-Spring System' devised by technician Silvio Munerotto, ...

Moon dust is sharp, corrosive, and potentially fatal. NASA’s new electric force field shield is designed to blast it away.

New quantum experiments may settle the century-old Einstein vs Bohr debate, revealing key insights into quantum behaviour.

Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ long-running goals: turning molecules into a Bose-Einstein condensate.

For centuries, most scientists have shared the belief that light behaves as both a wave and a particle. This idea, then, became the central component to quantum theory, sprouting the field of science ...

Magnetism and superconductivity are similar in that both arise from electron behavior. In magnetism, a synchronized spin creates a pull, while in a superconductor, electrons form “Cooper pairs,” which ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the particle many hoped would explain it. Baryons, composite particles made up of ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter. By Kenneth Chang Just how many types of neutrinos ...
