Experiments on the fermionic Hubbard model can now be made much larger, more uniform, and more quantitative.

The miniaturized laser has a lowered output power suited for many applications without sacrificing stability and tunability.

Nanoparticles are coated with organic molecules that influence their size, shape, and behavior. A new technique opens a window to imaging those molecules in action.

A new analysis suggests that researchers have been underestimating the amount of meltwater sitting atop Antarctica’s floating glacial ice.

Electrons in a chiral molecule, if excited by ultrafast light pulses, can give the molecule entirely different properties.

Distributed evaluations, machine learning, and lotteries are among the tactics being tested to improve the process and integrity of peer review.

Disadvantaged communities in coastal areas will participate in the new initiative.

Dr. Becky aims to shrink the gender imbalance in the viewership of her astronomy videos.

Carbon black, a key ingredient in ancient inks, is used today to make the porous electrodes found in many rechargeable batteries. Understanding how to control its microstructure can pave the way to better-performing batteries.

One of the earliest applications that the new era of computing may be used for is the simulation of the quantum effects that drive chemical reactions.

The case of a pioneering woman physicist and philosopher illustrates that we must look beyond hagiography to gain an accurate picture of the history of quantum physics.

The red planet’s auroral activity stems from processes that are not seen on Earth.
