There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...

Ordinary matter, when cooled, transitions from a gas into a liquid. Cool it further still, and it freezes into a solid.

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

V1298 Tau links swollen young worlds to the compact planets that astronomers keep finding, and its timing signals made that connection measurable. Future transit-timing and atmospheric observations ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

Nuclear power isn't just for naval ships anymore as demonstrated by the Nuclear Propulsion in merchant Shipping (NuProShip II ...

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and ...

Using data from NASA's Juno spacecraft, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers make most precise measurement to date, say ...

EDN announces this year’s winners of the Electronic Products Product of the Year Awards, selected by the editors.
