Absolute zero cannot be reached -- unless you have an infinite amount of energy or an infinite amount of time. Scientists in Vienna (Austria) studying the connection between thermodynamics and quantum ...

Photos and videos of astronauts on the ISS show them floating around, but saying there's zero gravity isn't fully accurate.

The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in medical devices and quantum computing.

Most of us find it difficult to grasp the quantum world. According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, it's like observing a dance without being able to see simultaneously exactly where someone is ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday in Sweden for showing that two properties of quantum mechanics, the physical laws that rule the ...

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

TO IMAGINE working your way down the temperature scale into the realms of extreme cold, you might start with the inside of an industrial freezer. At about -18°C (0°F), it is uncomfortable, but ...

In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated quantum effects in an electric circuit, an advance that underlies today’s quantum computers.

One of 2025's three Nobel Prize in Physics winners says the trio's work is "one of the underlying reasons that cellphones work.'' ...

A collaborative research team has identified the world's first multiple Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in a single vortex of the superconducting topological crystalline insulator SnTe and exploited ...
