Using sheets of light to corral waves of ultracold atoms, researchers have created an experimental platform for studying the event horizons of black holes. Making waves. Researchers have created a ...

Researchers have used radio observations of rapidly spinning neutron stars to search for signals from supermassive black hole pairs at the dawn of galaxy formation. In our lifetimes, an amazing thing ...

A device that stores a single positron and controls its quantum states could measure its magnetic moment with unprecedented precision, testing a symmetry principle central to quantum field theory.

Conduction electrons typically whiz through crystals in broad energy bands. However, some arrangements of atoms conceivably engender so much destructive interference among the electrons’ wave packets ...

A technique known as ghost imaging has been adapted so that an object can be imaged by discarding all photons that interact with it. Split a beam of light in two and direct one beam (the reference) to ...

Experiments show that bundling of individual strands of an important protein polymer can occur through capillary forces, not just through molecular binding. Separated at birth. The chromosomes (blue) ...
