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

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

Tiny aerosol particles in the air play a big role in regulating how much sunlight our planet absorbs or reflects, and how clouds form above us. In a recent study, researchers found that extreme heat ...

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 ...

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 ...

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