Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear ...

The researchers extended existing theoretical models to account for quantum fluctuations and applied these models to flowing condensates, discovering stable density and velocity fluctuation patterns ...

When mathematicians revived ignored mathematical structures, they found that overlooked particles, called "neglectons," could ...

Lauda and his colleagues solve some of the problems with topological qubits by using a class of theoretical particles they ...

This is what fun looks like for a particular set of theoretical chemists driven to solve extremely difficult problems: ...

Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such as lead or bismuth, it is trillions of times stronger than Earth's field and ...

Ivan Todorov, theoretical physicist of outstanding academic achievements and a man of remarkable moral integrity, passed away ...

Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the Large Hadron Collider.

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

For centuries, the concept of consciousness has intrigued philosophers and scientists alike. Often deemed too abstract for ...
