Students at the University of Manchester in the UK have created a 30,500-piece LEGO model of the iconic Lovell Telescope to ...

US company Peak Nano has engineered thin films of layered polymers to enhance the performance and extend the lifetime of high-voltage capacitors for critical electrical infrastructure ...

A computational paradigm that can accurately simulate interactions between powerful laser beams and quantum fluctuations in a vacuum has been unveiled by researchers in the UK and Portugal. Led by ...

New work could help in the development of materials that host exotic coherent quantum states under ambient conditions ...

The company is developing hardware for reversible computing, a paradigm with the potential to reduce significantly the energy ...

While gluons are responsible for generating most of the visible mass in the universe, their role inside nuclei remains poorly understood. These massless particles mediate the strong nuclear force, ...

An ultrasensitive small-animal PET scanner can image the entire body of a rat with sub-second temporal resolution ...

Researchers create a photonic engine that can manipulate microwave and optical signals and convert the signals between the ...

Minimizing vibration is usually achieved by doing experiments on optical tables, which are very large, heavy and rigid in order to dampen motion. Therefore, when a cryogenic cooler (cryocooler) is ...

Yet not everything went according to plan. Although the room was full of curious students, each time the floor opened for ...

From swirling oil paints to the grin of a Cheshire cat, this Physics World Stories episode brings quantum science to life ...

Conventional accelerators use oscillating electric fields to drive charged particles to relativistic speeds. The Large Hadron ...
