Two independent teams have built operating nuclear clocks—devices that might one day rival the best atomic clocks and offer ...

When intense quantum light knocks electrons out of atoms, the statistics of the light can be transferred to the electrons.

Pairing superconducting qubits with microwave cavities could reduce the hardware requirements for quantum simulations of fundamental physics.

A simplified model of the heart’s mitral valve shows that flow fluctuations can cause a soft valve to close at about one-tenth the pressure required under steady flow. Figure 1: High-speed images show ...

Electron microscopes are windows into the atomic world, creating images that can reveal the atomic arrangements within biological tissues or crystalline solids. But the electron beam that unveils this ...

Neutrino astronomy and the effort to build a cubic-kilometer-sized detector at the South Pole are recognized by the 2026 ...

The discovery of a thermal version of the Hall effect in common semiconductors challenges our understanding of how magnetic ...

Pairs of photons provide a gentle way to measure the impact of a molecule’s environment on its ultrafast dynamics.

Researchers have proposed that long-range molecular dipole correlations alter water’s electrical properties when it’s confined in a gap a few nanometers wide. In 2018, researchers confined a film of ...

Simplified models of systems with fast and slow dynamics can miss a narrow region of phase space—a “singular funnel”—leading to misleading predictions of the system’s behavior. Figure 1: Systems ...
