For fusion reactions to become practical, parameters such as plasma density and shape must be monitored in real time and impending disruptions responded to instantly. [more…]
A new type of superconductor may just be what physicists have been searching for over the past 40 years. Superconductivity is the property of zero [more…]
Quantum key distribution is the only way to ensure an absolutely secured connection protected by the laws of quantum physics. In recent years, secure and [more…]
A 15-year study using observed radio signals from the 67 pulsars has concluded that the entire cosmos is filled with undulating gravitational waves. Gravitational waves [more…]
Turbulence is hard to control, but a turbulent blob created using vortex rings provides fundamental insights into this elusive state of matter. Turbulence, a highly [more…]
Researchers investigate dark photons as alternatives to dark matter, aiming to detect these particles through experiments involving the conversion of light. Since Frank Zwicky’s discovery [more…]
A new approach to understanding gravity helps eliminate some discrepancies inherent in general relativity. General relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein in 1915, revolutionized our understanding [more…]
New research reveals that quantum effects defy the universality of free fall, providing a potential experimental pathway to test quantum gravity. One of the pillars [more…]
A new technique can detect the X-ray signature of an individual atom, even determining the structure of its electron orbits. Since their discovery by Wilhelm [more…]
The most compact nuclear fusion reactor built to date could provide a more affordable and sustainable means of future fusion energy. Nuclear fusion has enormous [more…]
