In Sept. 2012, NASA’s Van Allen Probes observed the radiation belts around Earth had settled into a new configuration, separating into three belts instead of two. Scientists think the unusual physics ...

A messy paradox that has plagued geoscientists who study Earth's core and the magnetic field it produces may now be solved. The puzzle is only a few years old. It was raised in a 2012 paper in which ...

Physicists in Switzerland and Denmark have created a device that can separate pairs of entangled electrons. The device, which is based on a superconducting “Y” junction, should pave the way for tests ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are exploring a novel approach to mitigate a critical challenge in fusion energy development, i.e., the detrimental effects of runaway electrons.

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

In the already complicated science of what creates – and causes constant change in – two giant doughnuts of radiation surrounding Earth, researchers have added a new piece of information: some of the ...
