Momentum space is a concept in physics that describes the motion of electrons in terms of energy and direction. (Image: think-design | Jochen Thamm) It has long been known that electrons can form ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...

Mar. 25, 2025 — To get around the constraints of quantum physics, researchers have built a new acoustic system to study the way the minuscule atoms of condensed matter talk together. They hope ...

Engineered for cutting-edge applications in photonics, semiconductor metrology, super-resolution microscopy and nanomanufacturing this advanced motion system delivers nanometer-level accuracy, ...

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...

Quantum astrochemist Clara Sousa-Silva studies how molecules in space interact with light, offering clues to what distant objects are made of.
