Century old Quantum Mechanics can explain how a single sub-atomic particle cross the energy barrier through tunneling, be ...
Physicists have discovered how to make electrons “freeze” and “melt” into bizarre quantum patterns, forming a new kind of matter where solid and liquid coexist. Electricity drives nearly every aspect ...
A light pulse redirects electrons in an ultrathin layered material, creating a stable new state without heat or damage and ...
The Solar Storm Connection That Creates Magic The story of aurora begins roughly 93 million miles away on our Sun. We're ...
Two mathematicians have proved that a straightforward question—how hard is it to untie a knot?—has a complicated answer.
In this video, we explore the fundamental role of electrons in chemical reactions, rooted in quantum physics and the ...
A team of researchers at the Max Born Institute have managed to fully characterize few-femtosecond-long light pulses tunable ...
Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. It is released from natural sources (like wetlands) and human activities (coal mining, ...
For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...
