Is it wizardry? Physicists at the University of Konstanz have succeeded in changing the properties of a material in a non-thermal way with the help of light and magnons. The new process is not only ...

Max Planck really got the ball rolling for quantum physics by introducing the idea of energy coming in tiny packets, or ...

Observations from NASA’s Juno spacecraft reveal that Jupiter’s strong magnetic field and the unique properties of its plasma ...

A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black ...

Researchers have cracked a fundamental optical challenge: how to control both angle and wavelength of light independently—a ...

The ten stories in The Theory of Light and Matter are devoted – as so much American short fiction is – to the moment of change, the seemingly unimportant incident that reveals a hidden truth.

From the discovery of gravity to the first mission to defend Earth from an asteroid, here are the most important physics ...

The post Technique Pioneered BY MIT Physicists Breaks New Ground In The Visualization Of Atomic Behavior first on TwistedSifter. Sure you learned about them in your high school Chemistry classes, but ...

In this paper, a novel Eulerian nonlinear beam-wave interaction (BWI) theory considering harmonic interaction of a helix traveling-wave tube (TWT) is developed. Derived from this Eulerian model, the ...

Space-time wave packets are a class of pulsed beams whose distinguishing characteristic is that they are endowed with precise spatio-temporal structure. Here we present recent results with space-time ...

Cooler afternoon temperatures with on and off rain and storms through the weekend.
