Simulating matter in extreme conditions is critical to answering fundamental questions about nature. The Standard Model of particle physics provides a set of equations that can explain these mysteries ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a brain circuit that can drive repetitive and compulsive behaviors in mice, even when natural rewards such as food or social contact are ...

An ancient brain circuit, which enables the eyes to reflexively rotate up as the body tilts down, tunes itself early in life as an animal develops, a new study finds. An ancient brain circuit, which ...

Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have observed the birth of a protein made by a single DNA molecule, an event never previously seen outside a cell. The insights from the observation enabled ...
