Reversed field pinch (RFP) plasma physics is a distinctive branch of magnetic confinement research that explores self-organised plasma equilibria in which the toroidal magnetic field reverses in the ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...

Figure 1. Correlated spectrum of angular momentum and energy (SAME) at the tunnel exit for photoelectrons originating from ionization of the helium atom exposed to (1) circularly or (2) elliptically ...

NOBEL SCIENCE prizes are awarded in three areas: physics, chemistry and physiology or medicine. But occasionally some noteworthy discovery comes along that does not really fit into any of them. In ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

University of Nevada, Reno Physics Professor Andrei Derevianko was recently named a Fellow through the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), one of the biggest scientific ...

The most direct probe of λ3 comes from Higgs-boson pair production (HH). HH production happens most often by the fusion of ...

A new discovery in physics can be exciting, but are scientists declaring quantum victory too soon? Many breakthroughs aren't ...
