Physicists superheated gold to 14 times its melting point, disproving a long-standing prediction about the temperature limits ...

Gold usually melts at 1,300 kelvins—a temperature hotter than fresh lava from a volcano. The feat was completely unexpected ...

The new chip integrates quantum light sources and electronic controllers using a standard 45-nanometer semiconductor process. This approach paves the way for scaling up quantum systems ...

Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, is predicted to account for most of the ...

New method promises enhanced understanding of chemical reactions and material properties by applying a Nobel-prize winning technique in spectroscopy.

Cherenkov dosimetry is an emerging technique used to verify the dose delivered during radiotherapy, by capturing Cherenkov ...

Astronomers have just solved a long-standing mystery about a rare, rapidly spinning neutron star known as PSR J1023+0038.

The physical nature of light is an intriguing scientific mystery as it behaves like a wave in free space and as a particle ...

This study explores the use of polarized second-harmonic generation (pSHG) to investigate myosin conformation in the relaxed state, differentiating between the actin-available, disordered (ON) state ...

This hidden matter has been mapped using FRBs, intense millisecond-long pulses from galaxies located far away. With the help of 70 FRBs, which included one from 9 billion light years away, the ...

Is black a colour? Black isn’t in the rainbow, but where does it fit in the colour spectrum? What makes something appear black? An expert explains how we perceive black.

What sun addicts didn’t know then was that we were setting our skin up for damage to its structural proteins and DNA. Hello, wrinkles, liver spots and cancers. No matter where your complexion falls on ...
