Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two pinnacles of 20th-century physics. In their respective fields, ...

For more than a century, the laws of thermodynamics have helped us understand how energy moves, how engines work, and why time seems to flow in one direction. Now, researchers have made a similarly ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an ...

Quantum computers could one day blow boring old classical computers out of the water, but so far their complexity limits their usefulness. Engineers at Stanford have now demonstrated a new relatively ...

Attempts to describe quantum physics are rarely enjoyable, but Paul Davies' zeal in Quantum 2.0 sometimes steers too close to ...

Physics has a reputation for being dominated by men, especially a century ago, as quantum physics was just being invented – ...
