Scientists at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL have realized a long-pursued experimental goal in physics: to show how ...

Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading ...

The ability to tune the interactions between atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate has led to atomic wave packets that can propagate without dispersion and other novel quantum states. One of the ...

A team from Nagoya University in Japan has observed, for the first time, the energy transferring from resonant electrons to whistler-mode waves in space. Their findings offer direct evidence of ...

Interactions between atoms and light rule the behavior of our physical world, but at the same time, can be extremely complex. Understanding and harnessing them is one of the major challenges for the ...

Observational and theoretical space plasma physics (wave-particle interactions, solar radio bursts, solar wind acceleration and heating, turbulence in space plasmas). Dust in the solar system. Data ...

A new type of gravitational wave detector running in Western Australia has recorded two rare events that might be signals of dark matter or primordial black holes. These high-frequency gravitational ...

Freak waves towering as much as 30 m above the surrounding seas have long been reported by mariners, and recent satellite studies have shown that they are more common that previously expected. Now, a ...
