At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have dreamed of seeing the hidden patterns that govern the motion of nonlinear waves—the unpredictable ripples that shape tsunamis, tides, and turbulent flows. Now, ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Now, Takahito Iida at the University of Osaka has proposed a new energy-harvesting technology that uses gyroscopic flywheel system that can be tuned to absorb energy efficiently over a broad range of ...

Ocean waves are one of the most abundant and predictable renewable energy sources on the planet, yet efficiently harnessing their power remains a major challenge. Traditional devices typically operate ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves. Water, ...
