Researchers have uncovered clear evidence of exotic quantum excitations inside a rare 3D spin liquid, validating decades of ...

Scientists have taken another major step toward creating stable quantum computers. Using a specialized quantum computer chip ...

A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, ...

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could ...

A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official ...

Research published Tuesday by a Japanese astrophysicist says gamma rays may have been generated by the collision of dark ...

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 ...

Take a lattice — a flat section of a grid of uniform cells, like a window screen or a honeycomb — and lay another, similar lattice above it. But instead of trying to line up the edges or the cells of ...

Scientists at the world's largest atom smasher have discovered the longest-lived exotic-matter particle ever observed, and it has twice the charm of anything discovered to date. Physicists have yet to ...

This image combines visible light exposures of galaxy cluster Abell 2744 taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope, with X-ray data from ...

Physicists have created a new way to observe details about the structure and composition of materials that improves upon previous methods. Conventional spectroscopy changes the frequency of light ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover the physics of nothing, everything, and the stuff in between. The Ξ hyperon (pronounced “ksee,” after the Greek letter) ...
