There’s no doubt that kids have it better than we did when it comes to cool activities for kids. While tie-dye, jewelry making, and slime kits are certainly engaging options for them, little ones even ...

MIT physicists have synthesized a new family of bulk crystals whose electrons behave as though they move in an effectively four-dimensional “superspace,” rather than being fully described by the three ...

Scientists have directly watched angular momentum move through a crystal for the very first time — and discovered a bizarre ...

The SABRE South Collaboration has finally published the executive summary of its Technical Design Report. This document outlines the full experimental setup for the SABRE South dark matter experiment, ...

In many respects, scientists are much like detectives, solving mysteries by sifting through evidence in search of cluelike patterns. For example, any crystal, whether a granule of table salt or a ...

Physicists have created a system of two connected time crystals, which are strange quantum systems that are stuck in an endless loop to which the normal laws of thermodynamics do not apply. By ...

For more than two decades, the International Space Station has provided a platform for growing and studying protein crystals. In the early days of microgravity research, scientists discovered that ...

Protein crystals form in microgravity in the space station’s Kibo Module. Credits: JAXA For more than two decades, the International Space Station has provided a platform for growing and studying ...
