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

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. Neutrinos from distant astrophysical sources can reach ...

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.

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

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 ...

A simplified model of the heart’s mitral valve shows that flow fluctuations can cause a soft valve to close at about one-tenth the pressure required under steady flow. Figure 1: High-speed images show ...
