An experiment tested a foundational principle of physics known as Lorentz symmetry
A trio of researchers at Columbia University has found more evidence showing that sound waves carry mass. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, Angelo Esposito, Rafael Krichevsky and Alberto Nicolis describe using effective field theory techniques to confirm the results found by a team last year attempting to measure mass carried by sound waves.
Scientists in Japan have “awakened” 28,000-year-old cells from a woolly mammoth that lived on our planet years ago, and their observations could provide a better understanding of extinct animals’ lives.
For the first time, nanoelectronics have been cooled to below a thousandth of a kelvin
Human tissues experience a variety of mechanical stimuli that can affect their ability to carry out their physiological functions, such as protecting organs from injury. The controlled application of such stimuli to living tissues in vivo and in vitro has now proven instrumental to studying the conditions that lead to disease.
A team of physicists from the Joint Quantum Institute, the University of Maryland, the University of California Berkeley and Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics has implemented a test for quantum scrambling, a chaotic shuffling of the information stored among a collection of quantum particles. The team’s experiment, carried out on a group of seven ions, demonstrated a new way to distinguish between scrambling and true information loss.
Gene editors that target DNA bases may not be as safe as thought
The proposed accelerator would help physicists study Higgs boson particles in detail
Researchers have proposed a new idea that may explain why some Antarctic icebergs are tinged emerald green rather than the normal blue, potentially solving a decades-long scientific mystery.
