For more than a century, the laws of thermodynamics have helped us understand how energy moves, how engines work, and why time seems to flow in one direction. Now, researchers have made a similarly ...

In the 100th-anniversary year of quantum mechanics, which describes the universe at its smallest, most fundamental scales, the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has gone to three pioneers in bringing its ...

CERN scientists have analyzed a particle of antimatter isolated in an undecided quantum state known as a superposition for the first time. While the quantum behavior of ordinary matter has been ...

The path toward realizing practical quantum technologies begins with understanding the fundamental physics that govern ...

The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation in which it is impossible to describe the physics of each photon separately ...

Waveguide-style approach promises to pair the versatility of phononic quantum technologies with the tight control of photonic ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics.John Clarke, ...

A new type of germanium superconductor could allow classical and quantum chips to be built into one device, creating better ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

Christopher Nolan's new film 'Oppenheimer' features complex science. He brought on scientists to make sure he got it right, but they said they didn't have to do much. Nolan had researched enough about ...

Waves don’t just shape oceans or ripple across a pond. They also shape the building blocks of our universe—light, sound, and even the tiny vibrations inside atoms and molecules. These vibrations, ...

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...
