Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 — Quantum networking is being rapidly developed world-wide. It is a key quantum technology that will enable a global quantum internet: the ability to deploy secure ...

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

Physicists hope that understanding the churning region near singularities might help them reconcile gravity and quantum mechanics. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘negative ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Quantum mechanics has long provided a vibrant framework for understanding the microscopic world, with mathematical constructs such as orthogonal polynomials playing a pivotal role. These specialised ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
