A team of UCR electrical engineers and material scientists demonstrated a research breakthrough that may result in wide-ranging advancements in electrical, optical, and computer technologies.
A recently discovered celestial body has the appearance and optical properties of a black hole, but it could be a new type of star.
In a unique analysis of experimental data, nuclear physicists have made the first-ever observations of how lambda particles, so-called "strange matter," are produced by a specific process called semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS)
Supersolids are a relatively new and exciting area of research. They exhibit both solid and superfluid properties simultaneously.
Lithium-ion batteries power our lives.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collides with heavy ions—atomic nuclei that have been stripped of their surrounding electrons—to investigate atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.
At the atomic and subatomic scales of matter, classical laws of nature lose control and quantum mechanics take over. Discoveries of new quantum phenomena and materials, such as quantum entanglement and topological systems, promise to deliver groundbreaking technologies.
Contrary to the ancient philosophers envisioning the origins of the universe, modern cosmologists make use of quantitative tools to gain better knowledge of its evolution and structure.
For the last six years, Indiana University researchers and collaborators from around the world have sought to answer important questions about the most basic laws of physics that govern our universe.
According to calculations performed by RIKEN researchers, they forecast that telltale signatures in gravitational-wave signals from merging neutron stars must disclose what occurs to matter at the extreme pressures produced at the time of such mergers.
