A peer-reviewed study published in Science has documented frequent new particle formation during a heat wave, a phenomenon ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Acoustic tweezers use sound waves to create a potential-energy well that can hold an object in place – they are the acoustic ...

image: Physicists has shown that it is possible to observe the wave properties of massive particles at room temperature, in practically any modern physics laboratory, because it is only necessary to ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...

Alfvén waves are fundamental plasma wave modes that permeate the universe. At small kinetic scales, they provide a critical mechanism for the transfer of energy between electromagnetic fields and ...

Complementarity A new twist on the double-slit experiment. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Andrey VP) One of the most counterintuitive concepts in physics – the idea that quantum objects are complementary, ...
