A newly discovered set of mathematical equations describes how to turn any sequence of random events into a clock, scientists ...

This research suggests that even chaotic, unpredictable phenomena, like waves on a shore or the beating of a heart, can be ...

The universe is governed by two sets of seemingly incompatible laws of physics – there’s the classical physics we’re used to on our scale, and the spooky world of quantum physics on the atomic scale.

The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation ...

A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...

Might the mere fact of creating a time machine ensure its own elimination from history? That’s the disquieting suggestion of ...

If spacetime is classical, it should undergo random fluctuations, which could in turn change the mass of objects by tiny amounts over time. One experiment the team suggests is that measuring an object ...

Quantum blobs: this latest research borrowed from ideas about how diffusion occurs in fluids. (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks) Describing how matter behaves at the quantum-mechanical level is notoriously ...

Researchers have proposed a new interpretation of classical physics without real numbers. This new study challenges the traditional view of classical physics as deterministic. Researchers from the ...

Imagine using your cell phone to control the activity of your own cells to treat injuries and diseases. It sounds like something from the imagination of an overly optimistic science fiction writer.
