Today, much has changed when it comes to metals and materials in general, but one thing remains the same: It's advancement in this industry that drives innovations and breakthroughs everywhere else.
Basic physics suggests that electrons are essentially immortal. A fascinating experiment recently failed to overthrow this fundamental assumption.
How tiny can a computer get and what can it do? Digital sensors are already traveling inside human bodies. Will shrinking sizes eventually do away with the bulky devices we use now?
New collisions could help explain what conditions were like up to a billionth of a second after the Big Bang
Scientists say 3D-printed structures loaded with embryonic stem cells could one day help doctors print out micro-organs for transplant patients.
Quantum entanglement - the process though which particle's states become inextricably linked, despite being nowhere near each other, is usually carried out at incredibly low temperatures. But not any more: now physicists can perform the act at room temperature, which could have a profound effect on quantum computing and security.
Researchers from the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore and the University of Seville in Spain have reported the most extreme 'entanglement' between pairs of photons ever seen in the lab.
Scientists at Queen's University Belfast have made a major breakthrough by making a porous liquid - with the potential for a massive range of new technologies including 'carbon capture'.
The first measurement of the interaction between antiprotons - the antimatter equivalent of protons - has been completed by an international team of physicists working at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York.
With this leukemia reversal, gene editing has now demonstrated remarkable promise and fueled optimism about future uses. But experts urge caution.
A major breakthrough has been made by researchers at the University of Technology, Sydney that could pave the way for the next-generation of quantum communications.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have now managed a significant breakthrough.
A recent proposed microbe experiment based on Schrodinger's counter-intuitive theory would have a scale so small as to be almost meaningless, and other challenges such as consciousness also come into play
(PhysOrg.com) -- At 0:38 CEST (18:38 EDT) this morning, the LHC shift crew declared ‘stable beams’ as two 4 TeV proton beams were brought into collision at the LHC’s four interaction points. This signals the start of physics data taking by the LHC experiments for 2012. The collision energy of 8 TeV is a new world record, and increases the machine’s discovery potential considerably.
A team at Manchester Royal Infirmary hospital, England, claim to be the first surgeons to use 3D cameras and monitors -- and embarrassingly clunky spectacles -- during an operation. Furthermore, if that wasn
