How would you go about determining absolute zero? Intuitively, it seems like you’d need some complicated physics setup with lasers and maybe some liquid helium. But as it turns out, all you need is ...

Today, let’s talk about something outrageous and frightening — the universe 10 trillion years from now! Can you believe it? By then, even the stars will be gone, black holes will have vanished, and ...

Scientists can now reliably chill specimens near absolute zero for over 10 hours while taking images resolved to the level of individual atoms with an electron microscope.

The precise imaging of many-body systems, which are comprised of many interacting particles, can help to validate theoretical ...
