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

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 ...

When you shine a flashlight into a glass of water, the beam bends. That simple observation, familiar since ancient times, ...

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

Physicists have devised a new model to account for the discomfort that airline passengers know all too well.

We also prove that the two sets of Maxwell equations only depend on the non-linear elations of the conformal group of ...
