WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The same technology behind MRI images of injury or disease also powers nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is used to analyze biological molecules for research ...

Columbia physicist Isidor Isaac Rabi discovered nuclear magnetic resonance in the 1930s. Today, it lets doctors look inside ...

Alyssa Ney is professor and chair of metaphysics at the Faculty of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science, and Religious Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, Germany. This week, physicists are ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

Researchers developed a quantum sensor that, when used with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), has potential to enable the capture of microstructures in living cells. A collaboration of researchers ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...

For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...
