Chinese scientists use a quantum computer to simulate a quantum phenomenon and find a way to better control quantum ...

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by ...

Physicists believe the universe may exist in a fragile “false vacuum” state that could collapse at any moment. If triggered, the transition would spread at the speed of light — about 300,000 ...

Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet—or understand why. Triplet superconductors could be the key to achieving ...

The big thinkers at Aperture explain quantum mechanics and the uncertainties at the heart of physics.

The research team used two distributed sensors and leveraged two quantum resources for increasing detection sensitivity: ...

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...

The total energy of the ball consists of its potential energy (related to position) plus its kinetic energy (related to motion). To zero out both components, you would have to give a precise value to ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

The carbon filament used in Edison’s 1897 light bulb experiments generated the precise amount of heat needed to produce ...
