Study shows LIGO’s 40-kilogram mirrors can move in response to tiny quantum effects, revealing the “spooky popcorn of the universe.”

Signal from 500 million light years away is the first periodic pattern of radio bursts detected.

Danielle Frostig, a physics graduate student, is developing an instrument to study how the heaviest elements in the universe are produced.

Exotic states called Kohn anomalies could offer clues to why some materials have the electronic properties they do.

Discovery made through the Disk Detective project could help the search for new planets.

Molecules containing heavy and deformed radioactive nuclei may help scientists to measure symmetry-violating phenomena and identify signs of dark matter.

Particle-scale phenomenon akin to the swerving of a curveball could allow selective separation of suspended nanomaterials.

Instrument may help scientists assess the ocean’s response to climate change.

Results could help designers engineer high-temperature superconductors and quantum computing devices.

In a new book, Professor David Kaiser describes dramatic shifts in the history of an evolving discipline.
