For more than a century, condensed matter physics has grappled with one of its greatest unsolved challenges: how to build ...

Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy transitions in the nuclei of atoms and could become the most precise clock on ...

Queen’s physics researchers are part of a global experiment that will use the Pacific Ocean to study some of the most elusive particles in the universe.

Although commonly described as a tsunami, the titular wave in The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai is more likely an example of a large rogue wave. For centuries, sailors spoke of two maritime ...

The chirality lies in the geometry Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of nickel-based artificial chiral magnets fabricated at EPFL’s Center of MicroNanoTechnology. (Courtesy: Mingran Xu, Dirk ...

A new quantum system called giant superatoms could protect quantum information and enable entanglement between multiple qubits. The concept merges giant atoms and superatoms to improve stability and ...

MIT physicists have built a powerful new microscope that uses terahertz light to uncover hidden quantum motions inside superconductors. By compressing this normally unwieldy light into a tiny region, ...

There's a huge amount of clean energy locked away in ocean waves, if only we could find a way to harness more of it. A new ...

A soaring cosmic symphony surrounds us; its notes emerge from massive celestial objects crashing together hundreds of millions or even billions of light-years away. Ever since astronomers announced ...

The enterprise technology landscape in 2026 is undergoing a structural transformation unparalleled since the initial global migration to cloud computing infrastructure.

UNIGE Professor Michele Maggiore has been appointed spokesperson for the future European gravitational-wave observatory. Michele Maggiore will represent the entire collaboration, after having ...

A new data release more than doubles the number of gravitational-wave candidate events—and reveals unexpected complexities of merging black holes ...
