A team of physicists led by Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside, demonstrated how new optical ...

What if time is not as fixed as we thought? Imagine that instead of flowing in one direction -- from past to future -- time could flow forward or backward due to processes taking place at the quantum ...

Neutron stars, the collapsed remnants of massive stars, hold the densest matter in the universe. These cosmic objects are ...

In a paper published earlier this month in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists led by Jonathan Richardson of the ...

Imagine a world where the most advanced concepts in physics are not just confined to high-tech labs or theoretical equations, but can be found in ...

Researchers have discovered various topological structures in water waves (skyrmions, merons, Möbius and vortices with ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into ...

Laser diodes are semiconductors that generate light and amplify it using repeated reflection or "optical feedback." Once the ...

Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.

Mathematical equations have shaped our understanding of the universe, and these nine have played a key role in changing the world.

By observing tiny ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that propagate away from colliding black holes, ...
