In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

In Sept. 2012, NASA’s Van Allen Probes observed the radiation belts around Earth had settled into a new configuration, separating into three belts instead of two. Scientists think the unusual physics ...

A messy paradox that has plagued geoscientists who study Earth's core and the magnetic field it produces may now be solved. The puzzle is only a few years old. It was raised in a 2012 paper in which ...

Excitons are pairs of bound negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes that form in semiconductors, enabling ...

In this video, we explore cathode rays, the science behind super-fast electrons, and how they lead to the discovery of X-rays ...

Scientists have discovered a way to efficiently transfer electrical current through specific materials at room temperature, a ...

Physicists in Switzerland and Denmark have created a device that can separate pairs of entangled electrons. The device, which is based on a superconducting “Y” junction, should pave the way for tests ...

Later work by others built on this, showing that these energy levels are a fundamental part of how the universe works at the ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed vacuum (BSV), can drive strong-field photoemission at metal needle tips.

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

In the already complicated science of what creates – and causes constant change in – two giant doughnuts of radiation surrounding Earth, researchers have added a new piece of information: some of the ...
