Materials react differently to electric and magnetic fields, and these reactions are known as electromagnetic responses. In ...

Quantum technologies are systems that leverage quantum mechanical effects to perform computations, share information or perform other functions. These systems rely on quantum states, which need to be ...

From mudstones on Mars to strange gases in exoplanet atmospheres, tentative evidence for extraterrestrial life is starting to ...

At the end of each year, we recognize the best games we played in their entirety, but we also like to zoom in and celebrate the individual moments we loved most; the mechanics, scenes, and other ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

Scientists have long known that mutations in certain genes affecting microtubules in plants can cause plants to grow in a twisting manner. In most cases, these are “null mutations,” meaning the ...

This plant root was among those studied as part of new research exploring the molecular underpinnings of how plants twist ...

Physicists used liquid crystals to build a near-perpetual clock-like system, demonstrating a 'time crystal' phase where components move continuously without external power.

Formaldehyde is a common chemical used in many industries. It’s found in disinfectants, resins, and plastics. But it’s also highly toxic and harmful to both people and the environment. It can cause ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...
