An incoming assistant professor of physics has discovered a new experimental setup that could make understanding physical materials easier. Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, ...

Strong interactions between subatomic particles like electrons occur when they are at a specific energy level known as the van Hove singularity. These interactions give rise to unusual properties in ...

For the first time, physicists have calculated exactly what kind of singularity lies at the center of a realistic black hole. In January 1916, Karl Schwarzschild, a German physicist who was stationed ...

Black holes are often described as dangerous destructive entities that never give up what falls into their grasp. But what if black holes areprotective—shielding us from the unpredictable effects of ...
