The cosmos has served up a gift for a group of scientists who have been searching for one of the most elusive phenomena in ...

The Jahn-Teller effect, proposed by Jahn and Teller in 1937, describes how molecules or crystals with degenerate electronic orbitals can lower their total energy by distorting their structure. This ...

The exploration of quantum information challenges objective reality, positing the universe as a hologram is explored through ...

For decades, physicists have been puzzled by a phenomenon inside fusion reactors that defies ...

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...

Neutrinos are low-mass subatomic particles with zero electric charge that interact with matter only via the weak nuclear force and gravity. This makes neutrinos difficult to detect, despite the fact ...

A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...

Listening to the "whispers" of electrons and crystals has lead to a quantum discovery with terahertz light that could help us ...

This paper follows another in which Professor Martín-Olalla corrected an original idea by Einstein that gave rise to the third law of thermodynamics ...

This rare phenomenon is also called the green rim and it actually happens at every sunset.

Arttu Rajantie is a professor of theoretical physics at Imperial College London, a scientific associate at CERN, and a member ...
