A compact quantum-computer that fits in 19-inch server racks

20 years ago, a famous DAMA/LIBRA experiment potentially detected dark matter

Scientists are developing a way to easily manipulate and store light such that photons can be used on demand, a technique that may one day become integral in quantum-information transfer, fiber-optics and theories that remain untested due to light-based restrictions.

Physics without determinism: Alternative interpretations of classical physics

A new on-chip “wire” for sound promises phononic circuits for classical signal processing and cryogenic quantum systems.

X-rays can melt silicon in 100 fs - the time it takes light to travel the width of a human hair

Physicists create graphene circuit, prove that Brownian motion can do work

A new magnetic metamaterial allows "unprecedented focusing of magnetic fields in empty space and enables the remote cancellation of magnetic sources, opening an avenue for manipulating magnetic fields in inaccessible regions."

Gravitational Test beyond the First Post-Newtonian Order with the Shadow of the M87 Black Hole

Aalto University researchers have developed a black silicon photodetector that has reached above 130% efficiency in UV range without external amplification, breaking the theoretical one-photon–one-electron barrier known as the Shockley-Queisser limit

Falling rain produces electrostatic charges when it hits a surface

While astronomers look for a ninth planet to explain orbits in the outer solar system, a duo explores the possibility that the mystery object is a primordial black hole.

Black-silicon ultraviolet photodiodes achieve external quantum efficiency above 130%

Physicists at the Goethe University in Frankfurt first detect the phenomenon experimentally, which was predicted by Arnold Sommerfeld in 1930: When a particle of light strikes an atom…

Scientists demonstrate that anesthetized brains become both less structured and more reversible.

Physical Implications of a Fundamental Period of Time - A strong upper bound T_C < 10^− 33 s of the fundamental period of time, several orders of magnitude below any direct time measurement, is obtained from bounds on dynamical variations of the period of a system evolving in time.

A proposed interaction between neutrinos might explain a discrepancy in measurements of the Universe’s expansion rate.

Current understanding of cosmology and nuclear physics suggests that dark matter could be made of axions, hypothetical particles with unusual symmetry properties

New test of the gravitational 1/r2 law at separations down to 52μm

Quantum entanglement offers unprecedented precision for GPS and more

Physicists grab individual atoms in groundbreaking experiment

Scientists have split a single photon of light into three

Scientists predict state of matter that can conduct both electricity and energy perfectly

Satellite test shows objects of different mass dropped in space fall at a rate within two-trillionths of a percent of each other proving the equivalence principle of Einstein’s general theory of relativity & the theory that the absence of air resistance…

Atomic-Array Optical Clock with Single-Atom Readout

Researchers discover that minute fluctuations in the colors of light absorbed and emitted by nanoparticles completely change when the nanoparticles are vibrating

Nanorheology of Interfacial Water during Ice Gliding

Researchers have found an anomaly in the electromagnetic duality of Maxwell Theory, which could play an important role in the consistency of string theory.

Scientists have shown that 34 is a ''magic number'' for neutrons, meaning that atomic nuclei with 34 neutrons are more stable than would normally be expected
