Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

For the first time, scientists have the calculations and simulations to explain mysterious flashes from the galaxy OJ 287.

At ultracold temperatures, interatomic collisions are relatively simple, and their outcome can be controlled using a magnetic field. However, research by scientists led by Prof. Michal Tomza from the ...

Laser cooling and trapping allow physicists to map the dynamics of every ion-atom encounter in a collision experiment. For many years atomic-collision experiments basically involved measuring the ...

Segment 4C: Collisions We differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions Segment 4C: Collisions In this segment, we differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions. The conservation of ...

In a paper in Nature, the ALICE Collaboration 1 reports that data from high-energy collisions between protons can be used to investigate the little-understood nuclear forces between protons and ...

When supermassive black holes barrel toward collision, they can reach speeds of up to 1/10th the speed of light, new research suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

On October 21, 2025, scientists revealed a groundbreaking discovery in the realm of quantum physics: a hidden quantum trick ...
