Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...

Restricting a strange class of particles known as anyons to one dimension could force them into adopting one of two new forms ...

Five scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have received Early Career Research Program (ECRP) awards from the ...

Magnetic fields thread through galaxies, stretch across cosmic voids, and shape the behavior of charged particles over millions of light-years. Yet their origin remains one of the most stubborn ...

Spiral galaxies rotate at such a high speed that the gravity calculated only from their visible stars could not prevent them from dispersing. To solve this puzzle, physicists have postulated ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are paving the way for the future detection of dark ...

Particle never before seen on Earth detected; it could come from a primordial black hole and the origin of the universe.

The world is never really at rest. Even in a vacuum near ultracold temperatures where all classical motion should come to a halt, you'll find quantum fluctuations. In thin, two-dimensional materials, ...
