Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that molecular vibrations can act like a catapult, flinging ...

Scientists have made a significant leap forward in the field of chiral molecules. The team achieved near-complete separation in quantum states for these essential components of life. This discovery ...

Atomic and molecular physics is a discipline at the heart of understanding matter at its most fundamental level. Over the past century, pioneering experiments and theoretical breakthroughs have ...

More than 40 researchers from international institutes collaborated to develop and implement a method that enables measurements with unprecedented precision. This sets new standards for theories and ...

Science is a subject built on doing. Students learn chemistry through titrations, biology through dissections, physics through motion experiments, and earth science through field observations. That ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

The Heising-Simons Foundation recently announced $3 million in multi-institution grants for theoretical and experimental research on Informing Gravity Theory. Half of the award has been granted to a ...

Physics is beautiful in its ideas and in the people who pursue them across borders. What better, then, than for 16 laboratories across Asia, Europe and North America to throw open their doors for a ...
