Experiments show that a time crystal based on magnons can interact with mechanical waves without being destroyed.

The math behind even the simplest ocean waves is notoriously uncooperative. A team of Italian mathematicians has made major ...

In A Nutshell When two different types of cosmic strings become linked in the early universe, they form stable knots that ...

An 18-year dataset from the North Sea reveals that rogue waves are not freak accidents but particular products of ordinary ...

String theory unifies all the forces of nature. Forces that seem very different, such as gravity and electricity, are deeply ...

A new experiment captures a single parcel of light morphing between wave and particle. Published in the April Physical Review A, the experiment dissects a light pulse associated with a single photon ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...
