Spin waves are considered to be promising candidates for a new form of electronics. Instead of electrons, the focus here is ...

On Sept. 14, 2015 astronomers “heard” two black holes crashing into each other at close to the speed of light. This discovery was a watershed moment in physics and astrophysics, heralding an entirely ...

Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by international pulsar timing array collaborations in 2023 could come from a stochastic ...

A network of optical cavities could be used to detect gravitational waves (GWs) in an unexplored range of frequencies, according to researchers in the UK. Using technology already within reach, the ...

A glittering hunk of crystal gets its iridescence from a highly regular atomic structure. Frank Wilczek, the 2012 Nobel ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of ...

Scientists have detected the most massive merger of black holes ever. This titanic collision, "heard" in ripples in spacetime called gravitational waves, involves black holes so massive that it could ...

But what have been the most significant physics prizes of the 21st century? I’m including 2000 as part of this century (ignoring pedants who say it didn’t start till 1 January 2001 ). During that time ...

A groundbreaking method of detecting high-frequency gravitational waves (HFGWs) has been proposed. The team's innovative approach may enable the successful detection of HFGWs by utilizing existing and ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work showing how bizarre ...
