Time feels familiar. It marks every moment of daily life, from the ticking of a wall clock to the changing numbers on a ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Biophysics and Physicobiology how to optimize high-speed atomic force microscopy experiments on live cell membranes, so that moving objects like molecules ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to reproduce ...

Physicists working on the MIGDAL experiment reported the first direct evidence of the Migdal effect in January 2026, ...

Dark matter doesn’t absorb or emit light. It also doesn't interact with ordinary matter, making it hard to detect. Yet, a new theoretical study shows that hypothetical dark matter particles could ...

The University of Wisconsin’s physics department was recognized for its experimentation and creation of one of the most highly-efficient atomic clocks ever. The optical lattice atomic clock is behind ...
