Quantum science is as hard a science as can be created. Understanding it requires in-depth mathematical frameworks with pronouns in their names, like a projective Hilbert space or Von Neumann algebra.

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

Why does light carry energy even though it has no mass? This video explains the real physics behind photons, energy–momentum relationships, and how light can transfer energy and momentum without mass.

Quantum computers, quantum cryptography, and quantum (insert name here) are often in the news these days. Articles about them inevitably refer to entanglement, a property of quantum physics that makes ...

Hurtling around Jupiter and its 79 moons is the Juno spacecraft, a NASA-funded satellite that sends images from the largest planet in our solar system back to researchers on Earth. These photographs ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest and most fascinating phenomena in physics. Even Einstein didn’t believe it - he called it “spooky action at a distance” - but science has proven it true.

Visible light travels in electromagnetic waves, which we see as the colors of the rainbow. Different colors have different wavelengths of light. Violet and blue have the shortest wavelengths, whereas ...

Until recently, scientists had never detected black holes in the “mass gap”—now, particle physicists are exploring ideas beyond the Standard Model that could explain them. On May 21, 2019, a ripple in ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

The central idea of the study was an analogy between concepts in magnetism and epidemiology in which electron interaction is compared with interaction among people This is the conclusion of a study ...
