Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by ...

Physicists proposed “beat” patterns in pulsar timing can reveal nanohertz gravitational wave sources, including supermassive ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...

Scientists have been using complicated, hypothetical particles to explain the Big Bang, but this theory posits that a simpler ...

A network of optical cavities could be used to detect gravitational waves (GWs) in an unexplored range of frequencies, according to researchers in the UK. Using technology already within reach, the ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of ...

We also look back to two early Nobel prizes, which were given for very puzzling reasons. One was awarded in 1908 to Gabriel Lippmann for an impractical colour-photography technique that was quickly ...

(b) Displacement field within a single particle as a function of contact position (μ). (The dashed box highlights the displacement pattern associated with the polarization-protected BIC.) A joint ...
