An international team of researchers fabricated an atomically thin material and measured its exotic and durable properties that make it a promising candidate for a budding branch of electronics known as “spintronics.”

Universities in sub-Saharan Africa are teaming up to offer free training to students interested in fundamental physics.

A new X-ray laser technique allows scientists to home in on these single-electron triggers to better understand organic molecules that respond to light, including receptors in your eyes, plastic products and DNA building blocks that need to protect themselves from...

With SLAC’s X-ray laser and synchrotron, scientists measured exactly how much energy goes into keeping this crucial bond from triggering a cell's death spiral.

The method dramatically reduces the amount of virus material required and allows scientists to get results several times faster.

A NASA rocket experiment could use the Doppler effect to look for signs of dark matter in mysterious X-ray emissions from space.

A recent discovery by scientists from the SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis could lead to a new, more sustainable way to make ethanol without corn or other crops.

Propagating “charge density wave” fluctuations are seen in superconducting copper oxides for the first time.

In honor of Fermilab’s upcoming 50th birthday, Symmetry presents physics birthday cards.
