Scientists develop the world’s tiniest technology

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have engineered the world's tiniest technology, with a thickness of only two atoms. According to the researchers, the new technology...

Scientists find a missing piece in the quantum computing puzzle

Research from the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis has found a missing piece in the puzzle of optical quantum...

Scientists bring human-scale object to near standstill, reaching a quantum state

To the human eye, most stationary objects appear to be just that — still, and completely at rest. Yet if we were handed a quantum...

Dark matter is slowing the spin of the Milky Way’s galactic bar

For 30 years, astrophysicists have predicted such a slowdown, but this is the first time it has been measured. The researchers say it gives a...

Scientists create quantum microscope that can see the impossible

In a major scientific leap, University of Queensland researchers have created a quantum microscope that can reveal biological structures that would otherwise be impossible...

Axions — if they exist — could tell us about first seconds after Big...

Finding the hypothetical particle axion could mean finding out for the first time what happened in the Universe a second after the Big Bang,...

Scientists suggest new dimension to understand dark matter

As its name suggests, dark matter -- material which makes up about 85% of the mass in the universe -- emits no light, eluding...

Dark Energy Survey releases most precise look yet at the universe’s evolution

The Dark Energy Survey collaboration announced it has created the largest-ever maps of the distribution and shapes of galaxies, tracing both ordinary and dark...

This nano-sized iconic tower has 161 steps, 21 bells

Twenty-four years ago, physics professor Harold Craighead and then-doctoral student Dustin Carr created the world’s smallest guitar using cutting-edge technology in what was then...

Dark matter could change the temperature of exoplanets, allowing us to detect it

Ah, dark matter, you continue to allude us. The stuff is incredibly difficult to study. It doesn’t interact with light, so our evidence of it...
