An international team of scientists, led by the University of Oxford, has achieved a world-first by creating plasma ...

Physicists finally identified why some quantum materials seemingly lose their electrical conductivity for no reason.

The experiment at CERN produced pairs of electron and positron beams, propagating into an ambient plasma. The international team of researchers found that the beams were narrow and nearly parallel, ...

A few days ago, I wrote about non-singular black hole models, specifically one known as the Hayward model. Since its introduction in 2006, several variations of the Hayward model have been introduced, ...

Whenever someone talks about black holes, they almost always talk about the event horizon and the singularity. After all, ...

Esposito’s team developed a method for plugging nanoscopic holes such as this one, which is a fraction of the width of a human hair.

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when ...

The team used intense X-rays to confirm a key theoretical concept that explains a material's conductivity crash.

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

This paper describes Unbend - a new method for measuring and correcting motions in cryo-EM images, with a particular emphasis on more challenging in situ samples such as lamella and whole cells. The ...

A microscopic helium wave flume uncovers unprecedented nonlinear wave behaviours, including soliton fission and backward ...

Parker Solar Probe helicity barrier explains corona heating and solar wind acceleration, reshaping solar physics with ...
