A Stradivarius violin is one of the most prized instruments in classical music. The few musicians lucky enough to play an ...

A team of theoretical physicists has proposed a new particle that could act as a bridge between ordinary matter and dark matter, existing in a warped fifth dimension beyond space and time. Their model ...

Something is missing from the universe. Not misplaced, but structurally absent. About 85 percent of all matter in existence ...

A weird force that skirts traditional physics norms has helped erase a smudge on the foundations of particle physics. It’s a phenomenon called the “neutrino force,” by which neutrinos could ...

In light of accelerating technological integration worldwide, the Department of Mechanical Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) organised the X-Dimension: ...

The first experimental demonstration of KPZ behavior on 2D surfaces in space and time has been accomplished by a research team from the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat, located in Würzburg. Polaritons, ...

Crystals, bacterial colonies, flame fronts: the growth of surfaces was first described in the 1980s by the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation. Since then, it has been regarded as a fundamental model in ...

Quantum mechanics tells us that a particle can never be perfectly still. But how precisely can it be oriented? A research team at the University of Vienna, together with colleagues at TU Wien and Ulm ...
