Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from ...

Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

No one can control the weather, but certain clouds can be deliberately triggered to release rain or snow. The process, known as cloud seeding, typically involves dispersing small silver iodide ...

Physicists finally identified why some quantum materials seemingly lose their electrical conductivity for no reason.

From the burning of wood to the action of medicines, the properties and behavior of matter are governed by the way chemical ...

Far from Earth, in the vast expanses of space between stars, exists a treasure trove of carbon. There, in what scientists ...

Due to government shutdown restrictions currently in place in the US, the researchers who headed up this study have not been able to comment on their work Laser plasma acceleration (LPA) may be used ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

The team used intense X-rays to confirm a key theoretical concept that explains a material's conductivity crash.

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

Albert Einstein, everyone’s favorite wild-haired genius with a mischievous grin, is more than just a pop culture icon whose legend lives on today. He’s arguably the most influential scientist of the ...

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...
