New theoretical work suggests that the pattern of light emitted by atoms could be used to detect gravitational waves at ...

In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect, where electrons are affected by a magnetic ...

When it goes online, the MAGIS-100 experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and its successors will explore the nature of gravitational waves and search for ...

Positronium shouldn’t last long enough to be interesting. It’s an “atom” assembled from an electron and its antimatter twin — a positron — locked in orbit around each other, destined to destroy ...

Lines of momentarily flat water extend outward and rotate, in the opposite direction to the flow of the vortex. The left video shows the pattern from the experiment, while the right video shows the ...

From dazzling Anglo-Saxon treasure to Earth's constellation of "minimoons," it's been a busy week for science news. While our own planet has delivered its fair share of surprising stories, our cosmic ...
