An analysis of millions of galaxies found that the universe is barreling towards what is literally a much darker future.

(via SciShow) It's impossible to have something colder than absolute zero...right? That's why it's called "absolute zero". Well, it turns out you can get certain substances to negative absolute ...

The team succeeded in executing the world's fastest two-qubit gate (a fundamental arithmetic element essential for quantum computing) using a completely new method of manipulating, with an ultrafast ...

Researchers from the Department of Molecular Physics at the Fritz Haber Institute have demonstrated the first magneto-optical ...

High-pressure electron tunneling spectroscopy reveals the presence of a superconducting gap in H₃S and D₃S. Superconductors are special materials that allow electricity to flow without any resistance, ...
