An international team has demonstrated a new method for producing the most intense light ever generated in a laboratory. The research offers a practical pathway to explore Quantum Electrodynamics (QED ...

A new method enables researchers to analyse magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution. The new method achieves a resolution of around 70 nanometers, whereas normal light microscopes have a ...

Schematic of the expansion of the universe from the big bang (starting on the left side) to the present day. We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple ...

Numerical simulations in physics often require estimating a multitude of parameters, making the process computationally ...

Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" within a molecule. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...

Quantum entanglement is a state in which particles are entwined with each other. In this entwined state, the properties of one particle influence the other, even when they aren't physically close to ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

A group of Russian physicists, with the contribution from their Swiss colleagues, developed a way to use the therapeutic effect of heating or cooling the tissues due to the magnetocaloric effect. The ...

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 ...
