Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

Jean Paul Allain, the associate director of Fusion Energy Sciences, gives opening remarks at the Princeton Plasma Physics ...

For decades, cobalt has served as a benchmark ferromagnet. Its crystal structure and magnetic properties have been extensively documented. However, the new findings show that cobalt hosts a rich ...

China breaks a historic barrier in nuclear fusion, bringing the dream of nearly infinite energy closer to reality.

In a study published Tuesday in Physical Review Letters, researchers revealed that under extreme, high-speed conditions, heat ...

Metals are made of randomly oriented crystals at the microscopic-length scale. The alignment of the crystal faces creates an infinite number of configurations and complex patterns, making simulations ...

Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics. It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff ...

The Metal Hall of Fame has revealed their 2026 induction class, complete with a Sunset Strip celebration scheduled for Jan. 21 in Los Angeles. Launched with a 2017 ceremony, the Metal Hall of Fame has ...

The research activities of the Institute cover basic research in several fields of modern physics (condensed matter, subnuclear physics, space physics and biophysics), as well as in selected fields of ...

Discover the fascinating chemistry behind metal-ammonia solutions and the solvated electrons that create an intense blue color. This video explains the physics, historical experiments, and modern ...

The internet is full of people claiming to uncover conspiracies in politics and business. During the pandemic, public health experts and pharmaceutical companies became popular targets. Now an ...

Scientists have detected a “Dirac fluid” in graphene, where electrons flow like a nearly perfect liquid and defy conventional physics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Electrons in graphene can act like a ...
