The observation was conducted using the newly developed Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM (MARS) (1). This team had already succeeded in observing the electric field inside atoms for the ...

For experimental physicists, the latest measurement of the muon is the best of times. For theorists there's still work to do.

Nearly two centuries after Michael Faraday first showed that magnetism can twist light, physicists have uncovered a hidden ...

NCCR SPIN focuses on creating scalable spin qubits in semiconductor nanostructures made of silicon and germanium, with the ...

(Nanowerk News) Unlike electrons, particles of light are uncharged, so they do not respond to magnetic fields. Despite this, researchers have now experimentally made light effectively “feel” a ...

A new research paper provides the first evidence that magnetic reconnection -- a process that dissipates magnetic energy and accelerates charged particles in Earth's magnetic field -- also occurs at ...

Quantum field theory is notoriously complicated, built from mind-bendingly abstract mathematics. But are the underlying rules of reality really so far from human intuition? Or are physicists just ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you wanted to answer the question of what's truly fundamental in ...
