Two independent teams have built operating nuclear clocks—devices that might one day rival the best atomic clocks and offer ...

When intense quantum light knocks electrons out of atoms, the statistics of the light can be transferred to the electrons.

Pairing superconducting qubits with microwave cavities could reduce the hardware requirements for quantum simulations of fundamental physics.

Neutrino astronomy and the effort to build a cubic-kilometer-sized detector at the South Pole are recognized by the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics. This story will be updated with a longer explanation of ...

The discovery of a thermal version of the Hall effect in common semiconductors challenges our understanding of how magnetic ...

The superconductivity of uranium ditelluride (UTe 2) has a low critical temperature typical of superconducting uranium compounds. Yet its response to an applied magnetic field is extraordinary. Not ...

Julian Klein and Frances Ross explain how electron microscopes are becoming tools for engineering defects inside crystalline materials.

Pairs of photons provide a gentle way to measure the impact of a molecule’s environment on its ultrafast dynamics.

Simplified models of systems with fast and slow dynamics can miss a narrow region of phase space—a “singular funnel”—leading to misleading predictions of the system’s behavior. Figure 1: Systems ...
