Scientists have been using complicated, hypothetical particles to explain the Big Bang, but this theory posits that a simpler ...
What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred ...
In the 100th-anniversary year of quantum mechanics, which describes the universe at its smallest, most fundamental scales, ...
A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics honors three quantum physicists—John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis—for their study of quantum mechanics in a macroscopic electrical circuit.
John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis awarded Nobel Prize 2025 for discoveries driving quantum computing.
Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...
Gabriel Lippmann received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1908 for a new method of colour photography that was never ...
Everyone has their favourite example of a trick that reliably gets a certain job done, even if they don’t really understand why. Back in the day, it might have been slapping the top of your television ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...
