A new paper published in Nature Communications could put scientists on the path to understanding one of the wildest, hottest, ...

Quantum thermal machines are devices that leverage quantum mechanical effects to convert energy into useful work or cooling, ...

Researchers have devised a new way to define thermodynamic concepts in microscopic quantum systems, where conventional distinctions between heat and work begin to blur. Researchers at the University o ...

In 1999, Belgian physicist Chris Van Den Broeck implemented a minor alteration to Alcubierre’s concept by shrinking the ...

If the theory is correct, 'mysterious' phenomena such as telepathy, near-death experiences, and even life after death could ...

Physicists have demonstrated with unprecedented accuracy that the speed of light remains constant. In 1887, a landmark physics experiment was carried out by American researchers Michelson and Morley.

For years, the idea that we might be living inside a vast computer program has drifted from philosophy seminars into ...

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

Oppenheimer Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic, "Oppenheimer," dives deep into the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the ...

In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And ...

The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light ...

Since then, countless experiments have confirmed that light always travels at the same speed in a vacuum — about 300,000 ...
