Physicists have detected laser-assisted electron scattering using circularly polarized light for the first time, revealing new ways to probe atomic-scale chirality.

It turns out you can quite literally see an analog signal if the conditions are right—and you look closely enough.

Quantum mechanical effects are known to be easily disrupted by disturbances from the surrounding environment, commonly referred to as noise. To minimize these disturbances, physicists often study ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable ...

For decades, web architecture has followed a familiar and frankly exhausting pattern. A dominant approach emerges, gains near ...

The evidence is solid but not definitive, as the conclusions rely on the absence of changes in spatial breadth and would benefit from clearer statistical justification and a more cautious ...

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from an alternating signal. But the direction of that “street” is not fixed.

Investigators are using a tracking device called a "signal sniffer" that can detect signals emitted from electronic devices as the search for Nancy Guthrie continues in its third week. David Kennedy, ...

Authorities are attempting to use the device to detect the signal on Nancy's pacemaker over two weeks after she was reported missing Savannah Guthrie/Instagram Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on ...

Emily Mae Czachor is a reporter and news editor at CBSNews.com. She typically covers breaking news, extreme weather and issues involving social justice. Emily Mae previously wrote for outlets like the ...

For a technosignature to be detected, two things must happen. First, the signal must physically reach Earth. Second, our instruments must be sensitive enough to detect it, pointed in the right ...

From markets to spending to debt, usually reliable indicators that forecast where the economy is headed are proving deeply fallible. By Patricia Cohen Patricia Cohen is the global economics ...
