New research conducted by Princeton physicists is delving with high resolution into the complex and fascinating world of topological quantum matter—a branch of physics that studies the inherent ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Physicists at University of California, Riverside, have designed an experiment to explain the concept of magnetic resonance. The project was carried out by undergraduate students ...

This is Scientific American’s 60-Second Science podcast. I’m Clara Moskowitz. There are probably many more particles out there in the universe than the ones we know about. And today physicists got a ...

Bizarre magnetic behavior that was predicted by a famous physicist more than 80 years ago has finally been demonstrated in the lab, according to a new study. The behavior of an electron in response to ...

The explanation for this magnetic chaos, scientists now believe, lies near the center of these distant planets. Where Earth has molten iron churning in its outer core, Neptune and Uranus have ...

Lab top accretion disc: Cutaway diagram of the experimental setup used by Wang and colleagues. The data shown in the left portion of the gap between cylinders illustrates the simulated shear profile ...
