Researchers made small, pure samples of the elusive mineral lonsdaleite – also known as hexagonal diamond — and tested its ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

Called a landmark discovery, scientists create a molecule with an unprecedented electronic pattern that revolutionizes ...

After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon ...

Mercury is a metal, yet it has some weird physical properties, including being a liquid at room temperature.

Conventional crystals are materials in which atoms arrange themselves in repeating spatial patterns. Time crystals, on the other hand, are phases of matter characterized by repeating motions over time ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

Kalanick announced the move in an interview on the TBPN podcast. During these eight years, he raised hundreds of millions, including $400 million from Saudi Arabia’s PIF, for CloudKitchens and worked ...

Forces have mediator particles. Electromagnetism is mediated by the photons, for example. So most of the decay of this excited dark matter particle would be this unknown mediator. The excited state ...

Some researchers are seeking out the ancient history of these patterns in a substance that may be unexpected to some: plant wax. The study, coauthored by Daniel Ibarra, an assistant professor of Earth ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have demonstrated a new type of vacuum ...

Scientists want to redesign psychedelics so that they don’t induce a trip—but they still improve mental health.
