The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into carbon monoxide (CO), an industrial feedstock, has attracted significant ...

Learn about the particles showering down on Earth and how scientists find them at annual Arthur H. Compton Lecture series ...

When particles in volcanic ash cloud rub together, some pick up positive charge and others negative – now physicists have ...

Physicists have for the first time observed light drifting sideways in discrete, quantized steps, reproducing a quantum Hall effect that was previously seen only in electrons confined to ultra-thin ...

Look alive, science fans — a new subatomic particle has just dropped after a 20-year search. Discovered by British researchers at the nuclear research laboratory CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, the ...

Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up ...

Scientists are exploring a new type of optical atomic clock based on ytterbium-173 ions that could help define the future standard for measuring time.

Physicists have found a new “island of inversion” in the nucleus of molybdenum-84, a perfectly balanced atom with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. The discovery upends a decades-old assumption ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

Electrons in graphene break a key law of metals and reveal a strange quantum fluid. The discovery has surprised scientists.

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.
