Particles similar to axions, the leading candidate for dark matter that has long eluded detection, may have already been ...

Researchers used a 58-qubit quantum processor to realize and probe a Floquet topological phase, revealing exotic non-equilibrium matter beyond classical reach. (Nanowerk News) Unlike conventional ...

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

A new study argues that dark matter and dark energy might be illusions caused by the universe’s forces fading over time. For ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a ...

In the extremely early universe, primordial black holes could acquire a "dark charge," giving them an unnaturally long lifetime. This makes them an interesting, if exotic, candidate for dark matter, ...

Physicists have achieved a breakthrough by using a 58-qubit quantum computer to create and observe a long-theorized but never-before-seen quantum phase of matter: a Floquet topologically ordered state ...

An international team of researchers has developed a novel technique to efficiently excite and control highly-confined ...

Physicists found a new way to control correlated states in twisted double bilayer tungsten diselenide, paving the way for advanced quantum materials and devices. (Nanowerk News) A collaborative team ...

The pursuit of faster-than-light travel has long been a staple of science fiction, but recent advancements in theoretical physics suggest that warp drives could one day become a reality. Scientists ...

Bring together a large number of particles and they can order themselves in unusual ways. This can give rise to emergent phenomena that cannot be understood solely in terms of the interactions that ...

In 2009, Jesse Rose and a small group of friends began growing medical marijuana in a pole barn in Michigan, driven by a passion for quality cannabis. Sixteen years later, their company, Exotic Matter ...
