In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

Scientists have observed a new microscopic mechanism enabling precise control of the magneto-optical properties of excitons in alloys of two-dimensional semiconductors. This discovery opens up ...

The “horizon” he points to isn’t a doorway to the divine, other scientists say. Yet, modern physics has been trying to answer questions once left to religion.

The CDF Collaboration at Fermilab has confirmed that a subatomic particle called the Bs meson flips between matter and ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

The American Institute of Physics has awarded its 2002 Andrew Gemant Award for communicating physics to Michael Riordan, adjunct professor of physics at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are ...
