Important tasks like water desalination, dehumidification, and nuclear waste processing all involve expensive separation steps. A team from North Carolina State University used PSC's Bridges-2 to ...

Bloch oscillations are periodic oscillations of quantum particles in a repeating energy "landscape" (e.g., a crystal lattice) that are subjected to a constant force. These particle motions have been ...

Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly enough, they can also briefly borrow their energy from empty space. The haziness ...

In any experiment, specifying a physical quantity of interest always relies on a reference frame. For example, identifying the time at which an event happens only makes sense relative to a clock.

Earth's invisible magnetic field acts as a vital shield, protecting life from dangerous cosmic radiation and solar particles. Generated deep within the planet, it safeguards modern technology, animal ...
