Scientists Uncover Hidden Property of Light That Twists Matter Sideways
Light is known to exert tiny forces, but measuring them at the nanoscale has remained a major challenge.…
Scientists finally solve 40-year-old physics puzzle about how things grow
Understanding how surfaces grow has long been one of physics’ most important challenges. In 1986, researchers introduced the…
Fusion Breakthrough? Magnetizing Plasmas with High-Powered Lasers Paves the Way Toward “Direct Drive” Fusion
Promising new fusion research is revealing how plasma can spontaneously generate its magnetic field, in a fundamental breakthrough…
Quantum coherent manipulation and readout of superconducting vortex states

Astronomers Witness the Awesome Power of a Black Hole’s “Dancing Jets”
Astronomers have long been fascinated by the powerful jets emanating from black holes. These jets result from gas…
Scientists made the first time crystal that humans can actually see
Scientists have created the first visible time crystal -matter that repeats through time instead of space – revealing…
A dead galaxy from the early universe is forcing astronomers to rethink galactic evolution
Space tends to reward expectations. Young galaxies should spin. Gas falls in, gravity takes hold, angular momentum builds,…
A new theory suggests gravitational waves could modulate the light emitted by atoms, as if every atom carried a tiny trace of the universe’s deepest vibrations
Gravitational waves are famous for shaking the universe, yet barely nudging anything around us. We have detected them…
