A new type of time crystal could represent a breakthrough in quantum physics. In a diamond zapped with lasers, physicists have created what they believe to be the first true example of a time ...

Taking advantage of a phenomenon known as emergent behavior, engineers have designed simple microparticles that can collectively generate complex behavior. Working together, the microparticles can ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s NOvA experiment -- a collaboration of 180 scientists from 28 institutions -- have announced their first evidence of oscillating neutrinos, describing it as a “major leap” ...

Finding could have applications in acoustic-levitation-assisted 3D printing, mid-air chemical synthesis and micro-robotics ...

A research group has succeeded in observing at the intended timing two-phonon quantum interference by using two cold calcium ions in ion traps, which spatially confine charged particles. A phonon is a ...

Tiny particles like ice crystals or ashes tend to oscillate as they settle in the atmosphere. By combining theory and experiments, scientists have constructed a model that can help refine predictions ...

In this Oct. 20, 2025, photo, tiny ball bearings surround a larger central bearing during the Fluid Particles experiment, ...

Nanoparticles as a vehicle for delivering drugs precisely where they are needed promise to be a major revolution in medical science. Unfortunately, retrieving those particles from the body for ...

This news release is available in Japanese. A research group at Osaka University has succeeded in observing at the intended timing two-phonon quantum interference by using two cold calcium ions in ion ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Taking advantage of a phenomenon known as emergent behavior in the microscale, MIT engineers have designed simple microparticles that can collectively generate complex behavior, much ...
