For nearly two centuries, scientists believed that ice becomes slippery because pressure or friction melts its surface. New ...

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have emerged as a material platform for the investigation of exciton physics. Their reduced dimensionality, combined with weak screening, fosters robust Coulomb ...

Humans are unable to access all the dimensions. As we live in a 3D world, a new theory suggests the fourth dimension is the ...

A groundbreaking discovery in the realm of physics has scientists abuzz with the potential confirmation of a portal to other ...

Atoms in Two Dimensions Could Mark a Strange New State of Matter, Physicists Say Qubits can spin in two dimensions, instead of just one, and it could be revolutionary for quantum computing.

For over a hundred years, schoolchildren around the world have learned that ice melts when pressure and friction are applied.

For a long time, scientists believed the atom was the smallest, indivisible particle, until the advent of quantum physics opened the door to a whole new dimension of reality.

Where is Physics Headed (and How Soon Do We Get There)? Two leading scientists discuss the future of their field. Ariel Davis Share full article 189 ...

Might two bent crystals pave the way to finding new physics? The Standard Model of particle physics describes our world at its smallest scales exceptionally well. However, it leaves some important ...
