In many large ensembles, the property of the system as a whole cannot be understood from studying the individual entities alone — these ensembles can be made up by neurons in the brain, transport ...

Physicists at the University of Bonn have succeeded in putting a superconducting gas into an exotic state. Their experiments allow new insights into the properties of the Higgs particle, but also into ...

Dark matter makes up most of the Universe, but very little is known about it. This joint Nature Astronomy and Nature Physics Insight explores the history and current status of dark matter searches in ...

A bird in laser goggles has helped scientists discover a new phenomenon in the physics of flight. To study the complex air currents produced by birds’ flapping wings, the researchers trained a Pacific ...
