Experiments show Josephson junction-like behavior can arise with only one superconductor, challenging the standard two-superconductor model.

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

Quantum computing has long promised breakthroughs in chemistry, logistics, finance, and climate modeling, but the hardware ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

The text is now best known for introducing “Pascal’s Law” or “Principle,” that any change of pressure in an enclosed incompressible fluid (like water) is transmitted equally to all points within the ...

"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — potentially revealing new physics." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter. By Kenneth Chang Just how many types of neutrinos ...

Last year, a study led by planetary scientist Richard Cartwright at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, proposed that deposits of carbon dioxide ice and other ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...
