Go visit a sacred ancient site, if possible one featuring a high density of megalithic architecture, and when you get back tell me, hand on heart, you didn’t feel something. Modern archaeology, for ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

Physicists at the University of Vermont have cracked a problem that has puzzled scientists for nearly a century: how to describe the atomic equivalent of a fading guitar string. Their new model ...

New technologies are enabling scientists to tackle previously elusive physics problems. The macroscopic realm, which consists of everything from falling balls to orbiting planets, can be explained by ...

A US military space-plane, the X-37B orbital test vehicle, is due to embark on its eighth flight into space on August 21, 2025. Much of what the X-37B does in space is secret. But it serves partly as ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

While conventional computers store information in the form of bits, fundamental pieces of logic that take a value of either 0 or 1, quantum computers are based on qubits. These can have a state that ...

Thinking about quantum physics can feel a bit much, right? It’s like trying to understand how a magic trick works, but way more complicated. But honestly, it’s not as scary as it sounds. There are ...

Yaseera Ismail does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

ETH Zurich researchers levitated a nano glass sphere cluster with record-setting quantum purity at room temperature, avoiding costly cooling. Using optical tweezers, they isolated quantum zero-point ...

In 1905, Einstein established relativity under the condition of denying the absolute space-time valid in Newtonian mechanics. In those days, the quantum theory was also established by accepting De ...
