Scientists have shown that changing magnetic fields in precise ways can create exotic quantum matter that does not normally ...

Particle detector Calculations suggest that millicharged dark matter could be detected by observing its interaction with ...

Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While ...

An interdisciplinary group of faculty members is working to make RIT and upstate New York a vibrant hub for the burgeoning field of soft matter physics. Sometimes known as “squishy physics,” the field ...

A new quantum physics study reveals that simply changing a magnetic field over time can unlock entirely new forms of matter ...

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Caltech president and pioneering physicist Thomas Rosenbaum, an expert in the promising field of quantum physics, will join Purdue University President Mung Chiang in April for ...

An electric charge (like a proton) creates an electric field in the region around it. This field points away from positive charges and decreases in strength as it gets farther away from the charge.

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...
