WashU physicists build quantum sensors in boron nitride sheets to study magnetism and stress under extreme pressure.

Ok, as I understand it we have no way to determine the speed which we are moving at in an absolute sense.<BR><BR>We can say "We are moving 20 miles per hour in the car relative to the road" or "The ...

This research suggests that even chaotic, unpredictable phenomena, like waves on a shore or the beating of a heart, can be ...

For more than a century, scientists have relied on separate tools to measure the three core building blocks of electricity: ...

A newly discovered set of mathematical equations describes how to turn any sequence of random events into a clock, scientists ...

In a step toward making ultra-bright X-ray sources more widely available, an international collaboration led by the ...

It turns out that the familiar ground-shaking is only a small portion (10%) of the total energy released. While a tiny ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

On April 7, particle physicists all over the world were excited and energized by the announcement of a measurement of the behavior of muons—the heavier, unstable subatomic cousins of electrons—that ...
