This discovery is important because it helps scientists understand the extreme physics of neutron stars and the behaviour of ...

“We proved the existence of a new class of quantum materials that are both metallic and one-dimensional magnets, with strong ...

Astronomers have described the first measurements of plasma layers within an interstellar shock wave that surrounds a pulsar.

The interstellar plasma is turbulent and scatters pulsar radio waves slightly away from a direct, straight line path. The ...

Scientists at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have successfully produced Airy beams using ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. — Overnight in the Secret City, people are working around the clock to conduct research. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is always awake with more than 6,000 scientists, ...

A study has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in a metallic compound, offering evidence into a phase space that has remained, until now, largely theoretical. The study comes at a ...

In a physics first, a team including scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a ...

When an ordinary beam of neutrons strikes the team's silicon grating, the millions of scored lines on the grating convert the ...
