Physicists have found a way to redistribute uncertainty in quantum measurements, paving the way for ultra-sensitive ...

A Hiroshima University team has designed a feasible way to detect the Unruh effect, where acceleration turns quantum vacuum ...

What is the meaning of life? Even the best of us couldn't hope to answer that question in a Universe Today article. But there ...

Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. MIT’s ...

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...

Physicists in Australia and Britain have reshaped quantum uncertainty to sidestep the restriction imposed by the famous ...

A simple yet intuitive approach to tracking tiny, quantum mechanical particles could inform the next breakthrough in quantum technology.

Scientists reveal for the first time the atomic structure of liquid carbon, key to exoplanets and nuclear fusion.

Foundational research is paving the way for next-generation quantum sensors. Physicists in Australia and the United Kingdom have found a way to reshape quantum uncertainty, offering a new method that ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect -- a long-predicted phenomenon at ...

Up to 98 percent of the energy of an earthquake goes into flash heating rocks, not shaking the ground, new research shows. The finding could help yield better earthquake forecasts ...

In the past, there were periods much warmer than today,” says Anna von der Heydt. “By looking at what happened then, we can learn what might lie ahead.” ...
