New simulations reveal that around 1 million "macroscopic" objects from our closest stellar neighbors, the Alpha Centauri system, may already reside in the Oort Cloud, far from sight.

Looks like we’re closer than ever to connecting general relativity and quantum mechanics. A new study suggests that when we ...

Scientists have long suspected that phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs)—thin pieces of black phosphorus, only a few nanometers ...

There is a bit of a paradox when it comes to miniaturization. When electronics replaced mechanical devices, it was often the case that the electronic version was smaller. When transistors and ...

Constraints acting at multiple levels and timescales replace the static and linear concept of risk factors, and the connectivity hypothesis brings an understanding of how the accumulation of ...

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs) exhibit both magnetic and ...

Quantum systems may defy classical time irreversibility, revealing bidirectional entropy flow and prompting a reevaluation of ...

This ultracold gas is an ideal testing ground for studying macroscopic quantum phenomena: not only can we access wave functions of atoms, we can “tune” the details including interatomic interactions.
