World's fastest microscope can see electrons moving
Scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, which they hope will answer fundamental questions about how electrons behave.
Physicists find superconductor behavior at temperatures once thought 'impossible'
Scientists have observed an unexpected new behavior in a superconducting material. If physicists can figure out the cause, it could help them to find room-temperature superconductors.
Bismuth is so strongly repelled from magnets, it levitates. How?
The element bismuth can "float" between magnets due to magnetic levitation. What's the science behind this phenomenon?
Is copper magnetic?
The reason for copper's unique properties comes down to the configuration of its electrons.
Sci-fi inspired tractor beams are real, and could solve a major space junk problem
Researchers are developing a real-life tractor beam, with the goal of pulling defunct satellites out of geostationary orbit to alleviate the space junk problem.
Nobel Prize in physics awarded to three scientists who glimpsed the inner world of atoms with tiny light pulses
The trio devised methods for creating the tiniest slices of light.
Mysterious source of water on the moon traced to Earth's magnetic shield
Some of the moon's surface water may have an Earthly origin, due to high-energy interactions between the sun and Earth's magnetic shield, new research suggests.
Bizarre 'demon' particle found inside superconductor could help unlock a 'holy grail' of physics
The transparent, chargeless quasiparticle could shed more light on the underlying mechanics of superconductivity
