SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — A simple toy is helping scientists understand new details of a mysterious quantum process. The rhythmic click-clacking of the metal balls in Newton’s cradle has long ...
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 ...
The correlated motion of flocks is an example of global order emerging from local interactions. An essential difference with respect to analogous ferromagnetic systems is that flocks are active: ...
In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully created a new phase of matter known as time ...
How it works: the wave in the foreground is an illustration of the phase of an out-of-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate in a 1D cavity, which belongs to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class.
Using some of the largest supercomputers available, physics researchers have produced one of the largest simulations ever to help explain one of physics most daunting problems. Using some of the ...
