Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For nearly a century, the magnetic anomaly of the fundamental particle known as a muon has served as a means to test theories against experimental ...

For the first time, physicists in Italy have created a 'lump soliton': an extremely stable packet of light waves which can ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — UC Santa Barbara physicists Sebastian Streichan, David Patterson and Andrea Young are among the 22 mid-career researchers to be named Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation ...

Exactly 100 years ago, famed Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (yes, the cat guy) postulated his eponymous equation that explains how particles in quantum physics behave. A key component of quantum ...

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has named Boston College Professor of Physics Ilija Zeljkovic among its third annual cohort of Experimental Physics Investigators, a group they expect will yield ...

For experimental physicists, the latest measurement of the muon is the best of times. For theorists there's still work to do. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates.

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

He worked to develop an atomic clock that is essential to global positioning systems and helped confirm a rare state of matter predicted based on work by Albert Einstein. By Dylan Loeb McClain Daniel ...

Exceptional points (EPs) are unique types of energy-level degeneracies that occur in non-Hermitian systems. Since their existence was first proposed more than a century ago, physicists have only been ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
