A new optical technique lets scientists control topological solitons in ferroelectric materials, paving the way for ...

Scientists created a giant vortex made of tiny quantum pieces to bring black hole physics down to Earth. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Tornadoes on the outer edges of a typhoon's spiral rain bands are a severe convective weather phenomenon that occurs on the ...

Vacuum tunnelling – an exotic process by which empty space can become temporarily filled with virtual particles when an extremely strong electric or magnetic field is applied to it – has never been ...

When protons smash against a beryllium target in CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), the resulting subatomic chaos produces a smattering of kaons—a kind of subatomic particle. Physicists predict ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

When a conventional parachute is deployed, it cannot simply fall vertically towards its target. To protect itself from turbulence, which can cause its canopy to collapse, it glides at an angle that ...
