Holographic microscopy has emerged as a powerful technique for the quantitative three‐dimensional characterisation of colloidal particles. By utilising a coherent light source to generate interference ...

What lies at the heart of a black hole has puzzled physicists for decades. Now, a team led by physicist Enrico Rinaldi has taken a bold approach to the mystery. By using quantum computing and machine ...

New calculations provide insights into the dynamics of the chiral magnetic effect in heavy ion collisions The chiral magnetic effect is triggered by an imbalance in the number of right- and ...

These particles don’t last long and are never seen directly, but they influence other particles in subtle ways. Their importance shows up when photons scatter off each other—something that doesn’t ...

Is our 3-D universe is just the inward projection of an infinitely distant boundary? Space seems fundamental. Many physicists now think that the fabric of space emerges from something deeper. And the ...

The magnetic moment of the muon—a tiny property of a tiny particle—has long puzzled physicists. Experiments and theory haven’t quite matched up, leaving open the thrilling possibility of discovering ...
