For years, scientists in the field of molecular dynamics have been squeezed in their research. Traditional simulations that they have been using to track how atoms and molecules move through a system ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Higher-derivative field theories extend conventional frameworks by incorporating terms with higher-order derivatives in their equations of motion. This formulation not only enriches the mathematical ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...

Imagine plucking a guitar string. It vibrates, the sound lingers, and then fades away as the energy drains into the air. Now bring this scene down to the scale of an atom. Can an atom vibrate in the ...
