Optical measurements can reveal the hidden collective motion and quantum dynamics of electrons inside a Wigner crystal. In a Wigner crystal, electrons behave in an unusual way. Rather than moving independently, strongly interacting electrons confined to a two-dimensional plane can arrange themselves into a repeating lattice similar to the atoms in an ordinary crystal. Researchers […]

CERN Experiment Finds Gluons Behaving Strangely Deep Inside Atomic Nuclei
ALICE measurements suggest that gluons inside nuclei begin behaving collectively at very small scales, favoring gluon saturation over conventional nuclear shadowing alone. Deep inside atomic nuclei, gluons bind quarks together and help determine the structure of visible matter. A CERN study, with a University of Kansas physicist playing a leading role, has now shown that […]
Quantum Computer Solves a Problem in 15 Minutes That Classical Methods Can’t Practically Compute
Researchers have demonstrated a quantum computation that appears to exceed the practical capabilities of leading classical simulation methods while also addressing a longstanding problem: how to verify the result. A quantum computer completed a difficult calculation in about 15 minutes, while leading classical simulation methods would require prohibitive amounts of time. Just as importantly, the […]
New Imaging Technology Tracks Cancer From the Whole Body to Single Cells
For the first time, new imaging technology in Scotland allows scientists to track cancer from the whole body down to individual cells, providing new insights into the disease. A medical scan can show where cancer is growing, but not what individual cells inside each tumor are doing. Microscopy can reveal those cellular details, yet it […]

Taking the Stairs Could Cut Your Risk of Heart-Related Death by 39%
Regular stair climbing was associated with substantially lower risks of cardiovascular death and death from any cause. Choosing the stairs instead of an elevator may be one of the simplest ways to add heart-healthy movement to an ordinary day. Research published on August 12, 2026, from the University of East Anglia and Norfolk and Norwich […]
Textbooks May Be Wrong: Satellite Data Challenge the Two-Bulge Tide Model
Large-scale tidal observations challenge the textbook idea that two symmetric water bulges physically form on opposite sides of Earth. For generations, students have learned to picture Earth’s oceans forming two broad bulges on opposite sides of the planet under the Moon’s gravitational influence. Researchers led by Yongfeng Yang of the Water Resources Comprehensive Development Center […]
