Experiments reveal a hydrodynamic analog of an important effect in quantum optics called superradiance.

The results of new simulations negate the argument that some objects thought to be black holes are instead hypothetical exotic systems called bosonic stars.  

Experiments reveal new details of the process by which contaminants in the ocean could reach the atmosphere through the bursting of bubbles in foam.

Researchers have achieved long-distance entanglement between two calcium ions, each of which lies in a different building, showing that trapped ions could be used to create quantum networks.

Simulations of the behavior of individual financial traders show that imperfect market knowledge increases risk but not overall losses.

A new model explains the wrinkling patterns seen in nature’s donut-shaped objects, such as those found in jellyfish.

Captivating patterns found in the light scattered by an evaporating water droplet could be used to infer the properties of the droplet as it shrinks.

Experiments on a Swiss mountain demonstrate that a high-powered laser can influence the trajectory of lightning strikes—a step toward laser-based lightning protection.

A recently discovered acoustic effect allows a hot gas to simulate the gravity-induced convection within a star or giant planet.

Artificial salts that are liquid at room temperature can be used to efficiently tune the wavelength of a laser source.
