This is what fun looks like for a particular set of theoretical chemists driven to solve extremely difficult problems: Deciding whether the electromagnetic fields in molecular polaritons should be ...

A new study revises the classic equation for wind turbines and offers clear formulas for maximizing power without ...

At just 25, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin applied quantum physics to a treasure trove of astronomical observations to show that stars are mostly hydrogen and helium.

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made ...

SMAC, the pioneering new arts venue in the heart of Venice presents The Quantum Effect, co-curated by Daniel Birnbaum & ...

MIT physicists introduce a concept for a “neutrino laser” — a burst of neutrinos that could be produced by laser-cooling a gas of radioactive atoms down to temperatures colder than interstellar space.

While Max Planck is rightly celebrated as the father of quantum theory, his scientific curiosity didn’t stop there. He was a physicist who really dug into the nitty-gritty of how the universe works, ...

A new calculation shows how five atoms interact in the Efimov effect. It marks a major leap in quantum physics. Matter behaves weirdly at the quantum scale, one of the strangest examples being the ...

According to Newtonian physics, the gravitational attraction between two masses is proportional to the inverse of the square ...

Formula investing promises investors a systematic, rules-based approach to outperforming the market. In their December 2024 paper "Formula Investing," Marcel Schwartz and Matthias Hanauer evaluated ...

The 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded jointly to Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann, and Giorgio Parisi for their groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems.
