Study knocks down some theories for the origin of a mysterious light signature that has puzzled physicists for years

Physicists use extreme infrared laser pulses to reveal frozen electron waves in magnetite

Researchers are working on a portable diagnostic system that can be loaded in a cargo van and driven on a cross-country tour of experimental fusion reactor prototypes 

A team has done what a scientist first suggested in 1961 was possible, but has eluded everyone since: controlling the nucleus of a single atom using only electric fields

Scientists create new experiment to find neutrinos

Simple chip powered by quantum dots allows standard microscopes to visualize difficult-to-image biological organisms

It was predicted 30 years ago, now the effect has been measured for the first time by scientists at TU Wien (Vienna): the neutron spin exhibits inertial effects

As demand for smaller and faster devices grows, scientists and engineers turn to materials with properties that can deliver when existing ones lose their punch

Researchers had been looking for something completely different, but they found a previously unknown quasi-particle: A bound state of two electrons, two holes, and light 

To overcome a complete annihilation, researchers say, the universe must have turned a small amount of anti-matter into matter, creating an imbalance between them
