Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

Foams are everywhere: soap suds, shaving cream, whipped toppings and food emulsions like mayonnaise. For decades, scientists ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

A 'boom' of light that appears when a particle exceeds the speed of light set by a medium could, in other contexts, signal a ...

Scientists have long believed that foam behaves like glass, with bubbles locked into place. New simulations reveal that ...

But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Idzerda is now director of the MonArk Quantum Foundry, a partnership between MSU and the University of Arkansas whose mission is to accelerate research for quantum technologies in the U.S.

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

A $200,000 unrestricted physics endowment to the Louisiana Tech University College of Engineering and Science honors the life ...

Modern winter jackets are also a testament to centuries-old physics and cutting-edge materials science.
