If your New Year’s resolution is to understand quantum computing this year, take a cue from a 9-year-old podcaster talking to ...

If the universe was a soundtrack, we have been humming it our whole life. Every atom in our body, every star in the sky, every beam of light is part of a piece of music that never stops playing.

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Basic Sciences has gone in this eighteenth edition to physicists Allan ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

After the applied mathematician Peter Shor, then at Bell Labs in New Jersey, showed that a quantum algorithm could, in theory ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same ...

Our eyes can frequently play tricks on us, but scientists have discovered that some artificial intelligence can fall for the ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...
