Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help unravel the mystery of dark matter. The Standard Model of particle physics o ...

Modern low-power solutions to computer memory rely heavily on the manipulation of the magnetic properties of materials.

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

A new material developed at Penn State defies a fundamental law of physics, opening doors to highly efficient solar cells.

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

This article proposes a noncontact magnetostrictive force sensor (NMASS) using a Permendur strip. In comparison with the use of coils in conventional magnetostrictive force sensors (MAFSs), this ...

Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

The detection of small forces is of great interest in any robotic application that involves interaction with the environment (e.g., objects manipulation, physical human-robot interaction, minimally ...
