Ok, as I understand it we have no way to determine the speed which we are moving at in an absolute sense.We can say "We are moving 20 miles per hour in the car relative to the road" or "The space ...

MIT physicists and colleagues have for the first time measured the geometry, or shape, of electrons in solids at the quantum level. Scientists have long known how to measure the energies and ...

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 ...

What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they ...

The new temperature-measuring method, which can identify atomic temperatures of 1,000 to 500,000 kelvins, provides access to direct investigations of warm dense matter a condition that exists in ...

A highly sensitive quantum sensor from Jena has traveled nearly 9,000 kilometers: by truck to Hamburg, by ship across the ...
