Rice University physicists have shown for the first time that ultracold atoms can form bright “solitons,” localized bundles of waves that maintain a constant shape as they propagate. Solitons of light ...

Topological wave structures are wave patterns that exhibit specific topological properties, or in other words, properties that remain unvaried under smooth deformations of a physical system. These ...

Physicists have finally confirmed a phenomenon that sounds like pure science fiction: waves that appear to bounce off a sudden change in time rather than a surface in space. The effect, known as a ...

New research in Chinese Physics Letters investigates the phenomena of superconductivity and charge density waves in a monolayer material grown on a graphene substrate. Study: Charge Density Wave and ...

A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron star collisions by calculating the fifth post-Minkowskian (5PM) order, crucial for ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

The Doppler effect can be heard particularly clearly when a train passes by. The presence of the same effect in the generalised telegraph equation indicates the wave nature of heat transport over ...

Professor Takaaki Kajita, recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics, delivered a public lecture on gravitational waves at Phenikaa University in Hanoi Friday. The session, "Decoding the Mysteries ...

On February 11, 2016, researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) announced the detection of gravitational waves for the first time. As predicted by Einstein’s ...

One of the great joys in mathematics is the ability to use math to describe phenomena seen in the physical world, says UB mathematician Gino Biondini. With UB postdoctoral researcher Dionyssios ...
