Superconductive materials can conduct electricity with no resistance, but typically only at very low temperatures. Realizing ...

Research revealing how “thermal” behaviour can emerge from low-complexity dynamics and not necessarily extremely chaotic ones, has been published in the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters.

For all the excitement around new projects, the measure of success remains the same: a reactor that operates safely, reliably, and at scale.

In a cafe at CERN in 1992, three physicists realized they disagreed about how many constants are needed to describe all of nature. A recent paper suggests only one – time – is necessary.

What are the physics of life? That is more than just a philosophical question—it has practical implications for our search ...

Observing the flow of time at the quantum scale reveals a puzzling energy phenomenon: the energy required to simply read the ...

This is the light echo of the Big Bang, the first light that freely moved through the universe. This relic is crucial to our ...

Lightning is one of the most familiar spectacles in the sky, yet the exact spark that starts a bolt has remained stubbornly out of reach. Now a physicist has managed to trap a microscopic particle and ...

A strong geomagnetic storm in spring 2024 brought the northern lights unusually far south, as the auroral oval expanded well ...

An international research project involving the University of Granada has unified more than 30,000 thermal performance ...
