Scientists discover strange 'singularities' responsible for exotic type of superconductivity
Superconductors that work at temperatures much higher than absolute zero have befuddled scientists since they were discovered. A new theory might be about to change that.
Quantum 'yin-yang' shows two photons being entangled in real-time
The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers.
Turns out you can transmit sound in a vacuum, just not very far
For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum.
Are we really made of 'star stuff' and what does that even mean? (video)
Astronomer Carl Sagan once said that humanity is "made of star stuff." In a new video, astrophysicist Suzanna Randall explains what that actually means and where the elements in our body come from.
'Quantum superchemistry' observed for the 1st time ever
A new type of chemistry performed at very cold temperatures on very small particles enables quick, precise reactions.
Bizarre 'demon' particle found inside superconductor could help unlock a 'holy grail' of physics
The transparent, chargeless quasiparticle could shed more light on the underlying mechanics of superconductivity
Wobbling muon experiment could reveal a 5th force of nature — if the results hold up
The discovery promises to spark a revolution in physics, but more results are needed to know for sure.
Giant 'bubbletrons' shaped the forces of the universe moments after the Big Bang, new study suggests
Meet the 'bubbletrons' — theoretical particle accelerators that may have helped build the universe as we know it.
