Christopher Chyba held a hollow, dark cylinder made of manganese, zinc, and iron in his Princeton lab, looking skeptically at ...

Atomic nuclei with “magic numbers” of protons or neutrons in their nuclear shells are extremely stable. Nuclear physicists are especially interested in nuclei with doubly magic numbers—those that have ...

It describes how a crystal set functions as a simple ... electromagnetic waves. The program demonstrates properties of these waves, including diffraction and interference, using various experiments.

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Sciences; DOI 10.29026/oes.2025.240026, discusses Origami Metasurfaces.

electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear forces. However, scientists don’t know how gravity fits into quantum mechanics. In fact, they have been proposing experiments that can test the ...

This pioneering experiment, already competitive with major particle accelerator studies, demonstrates that XFEL technology could be a game-changer in particle physics. Beyond this, axions are also ...

a public education project to teach people about electromagnets and waves. Even better, [Justin Miller] has written up how he built this exciting project. Catch The Wave! consists of four small ...
