For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a hidden topological structure within one of the most widely used sources of quantum entanglement.

A 2006 conference for physicists in the U.S. Virgin Islands that included a trip to Jeffrey Epstein's private island shows ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

Many of the theories physicists rely on are incomplete, and until a flaw is found which can reveal new physics, the field is ...

Electrons in graphene break a key law of metals and reveal a strange quantum fluid. The discovery has surprised scientists.

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

Paul Howarth, president of the Institute of Physics, says ‘constructive dialogue’ with the government is needed, or the country risks losing the next generation of scientists.

Systems governed by chemistry and physics, not biology, can behave in surprisingly lifelike ways, as Giorgio Volpe, Rob ...

Mulugeta Bekele is almost single-handedly responsible for having kept Ethiopian physics going in the 1970s and 1980s despite being imprisoned and tortured by the Ethiopian military. Robert P Crease ...
