Order can arise from turbulent motion in space, forming magnetic field patterns that remain stable across stars, planets, and galaxies.

New research explains how those large-scale magnetic fields take shape, pointing to a specific kind of motion…

Using the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, scientists have discovered that the trillion-degree hot primordial “soup” that filled the cosmos for mere millionths of a second after the Big Bang actually…

Researchers are delving into the enigmatic world of hidden-charm tetraquark states, seeking to understand the forces binding these exotic particles together. Jian-Bo Cheng (China University of Petroleum), Zi-Yang Lin and Jun-Zhang Wang (Peking…

Even with persistent errors, today’s quantum machines have reproduced the defining signatures of chaotic behavior at scales once considered unreachable.

That result reshapes what imperfect hardware can credibly reveal about complex physical…
