The proof-of-concept still has a long way to go before it’ll end up in real devices, but it’s a great start.
The new particle, named Xi-cc-plus, carries two heavy charm quarks and is about four times heavier than an ordinary proton.
The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others.
After decades of chasing after a rare hexagonal diamond, a Chinese team says their iteration of the elusive material is the most important yet.
Chemists have created a never-before-seen type of molecule with a nearly impossible shape.
Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.
The futuristic tech, funded by DARPA, would allow the U.S. military to preemptively detect danger from a remarkably long distance.
Fractures travel along the adhesive at nearly twice the speed of sound, producing tiny sonic booms.
The answer is a “perfect red,” and its discovery might be worth billions of dollars.
In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.
