Temperatures of more than 10,000°C and a hail of charged particles from the fusion fuel (plasma): These are extreme ...

The sun, along with all other stars, is powered by a reaction called nuclear fusion. If this can be replicated on earth, it could provide virtually limitless clean, safe and affordable energy to meet ...

Dark energy may have a completely unknown aspect of physics acting as an accomplice in its efforts to defy gravity, suppressing the growth of large-scale structures like galaxy superclusters.

Rice University physicists confirmed that flat electronic bands in kagome superconductors aren’t just theoretical, they actively shape superconductivity and magnetism. This breakthrough could guide ...

Einstein’s equation, E=mc², is one of the most recognized formulas in physics, but its true meaning often remains a mystery. What does it mean when energy equals mass times the speed of light squared?

A research team at Penn State has reported a significant violation of Kirchhoff’s law of thermal radiation, a principle that has been a foundation of thermal physics for 165 years. Their ...

A research team has developed a device principle that can utilize "spin loss," which was previously thought of as a simple ...

Scientists harness the power of 'layered' crystals for energy innovation Physics professors are exploring how a material called halide perovskites could transform light-powered energy technology ...

Nuclear clocks could rival atomic clocks and allow for new tests of fundamental physics. A new experiment demonstrates all the ingredients needed.
