The Latest Breaking News on Physics

Tiny differences between predicted and actual behavior could point to undiscovered facets of reality.

A new type of chemistry performed at very cold temperatures on very small particles enables quick, precise reactions.

The Chicago-based Fermilab team have reportedly found that “muon” particles are behaving differently from what current theories would suggest

A research team with MIT has unveiled a functional superconducting diode design that enables never-before-seen efficiencies and that's easily manufacturable, opening up the door for more power-efficient electronics.

It's been a rough few days in the condensed matter physics realm following claims of the world's first room-temperature superconductor being achieved. However, work to verify and replicate the results is catapulting forward, and two disparate teams have already shown promising results.

There are many technologies that need signals to be amplified, and are thus susceptible to strong back-reflections. They will all benefit from the use of non-reciprocity, a new and emerging area of physics research that is focused on preventing back-reflection, backpropagation, and, in general, on allow electromagnetic signals to travel…

A recent study found that the Subaru telescope’s new measurement of the amount and type of helium in faraway galaxies may offer a solution to the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem

Physicists use extreme precision tests to search for flaws in the Standard Model. A new study used a strong electric field in the molecule hafnium fluoride to measure the electric dipole moment of its valence electrons, and concluded by finding no evidence of 'new physics'. This result precludes the existence…

Rosatom at the Forum for Future Technologies in Moscow, Russia showcased what it says is a working, 16-qubit quantum computer based on trapped ions. It seems that Russia isn't as far behind the quantum times as some might have hoped.
