H-NbO₂—a novel van der Waals oxide synthesized by researchers from Japan—exhibits strongly correlated electronic properties ...

Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

The detectors that could discern new forms of gravitational waves also have construction timelines that end in the 2030s, making it reasonable to worry that the science has always been destined to ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

In recent years, however, the atomic-physics community has aspired to much more: we want to prepare a target of non-interacting atoms or molecules in a particular quantum state, strike it with ...

Might two bent crystals pave the way to finding new physics? The Standard Model of particle physics describes our world at its smallest scales exceptionally well. However, it leaves some important ...

Segment 4C: Collisions We differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions Segment 4C: Collisions In this segment, we differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions. The conservation ...

Extreme collisions between neutron stars could create exotic particles beyond the standard model, including axions, the hypothetical particle that comprises dark matter.

09 December 2020 Proton collisions probe the final frontier of the standard model of particle physics The nuclear forces that act on short-lived subatomic particles have been hard to study.

A new particle detector has passed a crucial test, demonstrating it's ready to start investigating quark-gluon plasma, the hot particle soup that existed during the first milliseconds of the universe.
