A new analysis of heavy-ion collision experiments uncovers evidence that two colliding nuclei behave like a Josephson junction—a device in which Cooper pairs tunnel through a barrier between two superfluids.

A constant bombardment of stimuli drives the brain’s dynamics away from a critical point to a “quasicritical” state.

In a new version of Maxwell’s demon, the tiny being plays the role of a gambler who knows when to quit.

Researchers have demonstrated that an ultracold neutral plasma can be magnetically confined, paving the way toward experiments that simulate its hot astrophysical counterparts.

High-speed imaging and simulations show that the single-celled organism called Chlamydomonas reinhardtii beats its flagella on separate planes, explaining how it generates its helical movement.

Entangled pairs of ultracold atoms interfere in a double waveguide.

Duco Jansen explains how he, along with engineers at the ITER fusion experiment, will position 1000-ton parts shipped in from the four corners of the globe.
