Scientists posit that some dead stars made from the densest material in the known universe, so-called "neutron stars," could act as traps for dark matter particles that smash together at high speeds ...

We excite the lower heater resonator to generate a flow of excitations up the cylinder, and measure the increase in quasiparticle density at the top (n t) and bottom (n b) of the cell with the ...

Until now, no technology was known that would be able to give rocket exhaust at relativistic speed and a high enough momentum for relativistic travel. Here, a useful method for relativistic ...

Twenty years ago, Philip Platzman and Allen Mills, Jr. at Bell Laboratories proposed that a gamma-ray laser could be made from a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of positronium, the simplest atom made ...

If you're a fan of Jeff VanderMeer's novel Annihilation and you head to the multiplex this weekend to see Alex Garland's adaptation of it, you may be in for a surprise. The sci-fi horror film, based ...

When a photon interacts with a material, an interaction occurs that causes its atoms to change their quantum state (a description of the physical properties of nature at the atomic level). The ...

For a dye-sensitized solar cell to work, the monolayer of light-absorbing molecules must be positioned at the interface between the titanium dioxide film and a conductor of 'holes' (conceptual ...
