Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

Researchers demonstrate that by shaping the spatial and temporal structure of photons, they can engineer customized quantum ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

Time travel has long been dismissed as impossible due in part to the infamous "grandfather paradox." This conundrum asks what ...

A month before arriving at its destination, NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP), led by Princeton's ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

An idea about the sun’s magnetic field called the terminator model could help predict dangerous space weather more accurately ...

A "House of Cards" is a wonderful English phrase that it seems is now primarily associated with a Netflix political drama.

A predictive space weather model developed by APL and partners that is designed to simulate how solar storms affect Earth is ...

"This work shows without a doubt that Parker Solar Probe is diving deep with every orbit into the region where the solar wind is born." ...

By partnering with artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National ...
