How do embryos develop? Why does the cortex of the mammalian brain fold? How do we feel touch at our fingertips? These and ...

A groundbreaking study reveals how neurons sense and transmit mechanical forces across their membranes—a key to understanding touch, movement, and development.

Gori's work helps bridge theory and experiment, deepening understanding of the Higgs boson, the nature of neutrino masses, and the possible particles that make up dark matter ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

While many plans for quantum computers transmit data using the particles of light known as photons, researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) ...

Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice is a flexoelectric material, capable of generating electricity when bent or unevenly deformed. At very low temperatures, it can even become ferroelectric, ...

Researchers have reimagined Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, engineering a trade-off that allows precise measurement of both position and momentum. Using quantum computing tools like grid states ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Graphene is stronger than steel and a better conductor that copper, making the two-dimensional material of particular interest to scientists. In a ...
