There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

Quantum physics has a reputation for needing exotic hardware, from liquid-helium-cooled qubits to sprawling AI clusters, just to crunch through basic simulations. Now a new “physics shortcut” is ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Let me tell you about my book "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations," published last year by Springer. It's technical, but I'll describe it in English. Scientists agree the ...

Human behaviour is an enigma that fascinates many scientists. And there has been much discussion over the role of probability in explaining how our minds work.Probability is a mathematical framework d ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the strange behavior of atoms and photons. Physicists have long suspected that ...
