Twisted materials—known as moiré structures—have revolutionized modern physics, emerging as today's "alchemy" by creating ...

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and ...

In the strange world of quantum mechanics, objects can exist in several states at once. This concept, called superposition, ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

An international research team led by Forschungszentrum Jülich has succeeded in visualizing magnetism inside solids with ...

Deep in the center of our galaxy, scientists believe a strange type of star may be quietly glowing—not from fusion like our ...

Some of the faintest, coldest stars in the universe may be powered not by fusion—but by the annihilation of dark matter deep within them. These “dark dwarfs” could exist in regions like the galactic ...

A giant gas planet comparable in size to Saturn exists around a small red dwarf star. The discovery is beyond the scope of conventional astronomy theory, and is making experts reconsider conventional ...

The latter especially has made very important contributions to our subject by his ingenious attempts to develop ideas about atomic constitution on the basis of the electron theory.

The ten stories in The Theory of Light and Matter are devoted – as so much American short fiction is – to the moment of change, the seemingly unimportant incident that reveals a hidden truth.

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...
