Satyen K. Bordoloi as he profiles the companies and nations trying to figure out whether Schrodinger’s cat is alive, or not.

A long-standing physics mystery has been solved with the discovery of emergent photon-like behavior inside a strange quantum ...

Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of ...

Three quantum researchers were presented with the Nobel Prize in Stockholm on 10 December. Meanwhile, this year marked the ...

A supermassive black hole was caught twisting spacetime, offering the clearest real-world evidence yet for Einstein’s ...

Because of this deep connection, it’s often more accurate to think of entangled particles not as two separate things, but as ...

Everyone in physics that came after Max owes him a debt of gratitude. German physicist Max Planck publishes his groundbreaking study of the effect of radiation on a “blackbody” substance, and the ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

By building an atomic equivalent of the critical Josephson junction, scientists can now study how energy is lost and excitations form.

Thomas Smeenk, BA, unveils a proposed conformal invariant, A = E/(hv), explored as a potential bridge between General ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to be folded neatly into the quantum rules that govern the rest of nature. Now a convergence of bold ...

Black holes are notoriously difficult to spot unless they are active, and one type of activity is the destruction of a star, ...
