The research, supported by the Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, shows that even an experiment with a clear mission in particle physics can often find something unplanned. This was also ...

A team led by ETH Zurich materials scientist Maksym Kovalenko has now developed an alternative image sensor based on lead halide perovskites. These crystalline semiconductor materials have the ...

“We’ve created a spectrometer that operates quickly, at low voltage, and that is sensitive to a wide spectrum of light,” ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings ...

Long ago, in a galaxy far away, two black holes danced around each other, drawing ever closer until they ended in a cosmic collision that sent ripples through the fabric of spacetime. On September 14, ...

Less than a decade since the first detection of gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime itself—proposed budget cuts threaten to silence this groundbreaking science ...

A recent breakthrough is the use of artificial intelligence (AI), which learns how to manipulate atoms to improve a material’s properties.

The U.S. Department of Energy-funded site sits on 5,265 acres in Suffolk County and is so vast it has its own ZIP code — ...
