One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

The research appears this week in Science. The researchers said their experimental system could provide clues about the underlying physics of rogue waves—100-foot walls of water that are the stuff of ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. In a moment over 100 years in the making, the 2017 Nobel Prize in ...

Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...

NEW YORK & STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scientists at Applied Physics, an independent group of scientists and engineers who advise companies and governments on science and technology for both ...

If the recent discovery of gravitational waves emanating from the early universe holds up under scrutiny, it will illuminate a connection between gravity and quantum mechanics and perhaps, in the ...

The first discovery of a quasicrystal 13 disproved the long-standing conjecture in condensed matter physics that only crystalline materials with translational symmetry could be densely packed and ...

Topological water currents could exist in Earth’s oceans, according to physicists in the France and the US. The team has made a connection between the physics that gives topological insulators their ...

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different rules of ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
