Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a ...

The transverse Thomson effect is observed for the first time: current, heat, and magnetic fields generate controlled cooling ...

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

The ground-shaking that an earthquake generates is only a fraction of the total energy that a quake releases. A quake can ...

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

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

At just 25, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin applied quantum physics to a treasure trove of astronomical observations to show that stars are mostly hydrogen and helium.

Each mineral in a volcanic deposit is like a microscopic thermometer that records magma chamber temperature over time.

MIT scientists have unraveled the hidden energy balance of earthquakes by recreating them in the lab. Their findings show that while only a sliver of energy goes into the shaking we feel on the ...

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 ...

Scientists recreated earthquakes in the lab to uncover how quake energy is split between heat, shaking, and rock damage.

The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard ...
