NbRe may be a long-sought triplet superconductor, offering zero-resistance spin transport and major advances in quantum computing.

Lawmakers raise alarm over interceptor shortages after U.S. forces reportedly used a quarter of global THAAD inventory ...

Theoretical physicist Paul Dirac believed the universe is built using advanced mathematics. He saw this order as the work of ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility (NIF) is the hottest place on Earth for the briefest of moments during an experiment. Now, it can be one of the brightest places ...

Astronomers have long known the universe is expanding—but exactly how fast remains one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology. Different techniques for measuring the Hubble constant stubbornly disagree ...

One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...

Fusion energy may be one of the most promising clean power sources of the future—but only if scientists can precisely measure the extreme, fast-moving plasmas that make it possible. A new U.S.

A multimillion-dollar government project is betting that particle accelerators can "burn" through the world's most dangerous ...

Metasurfaces featuring tailored silver nanocubes could allow thermal photodetectors to approach speeds akin to traditional ...

A subtle gravitational-wave “hum” from merging black holes may help settle the cosmic fight over how fast the universe is ...

We backed the Iran nuclear deal not out of trust in Tehran but trust in physics. A decade later, Iran’s program is stronger, and the cost of abandoning diplomacy is clear.

Artificial intelligence systems now breeze through many academic tests that once challenged both machines and people. That ...
