Scientists described the moment as a rare “wow” discovery as the system lacks disc of material normally needed to drive such ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Winter jackets keep you warm by managing heat through the three classical modes of heat transfer – conduction, convection and ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and ...

Setting aside the insane upheaval going on i n US science, this year’s Physics World Live series will give you a sense of ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...

On the steps of the U.S. Capitol on a balmy October morning, a crowd of people sporting “Save NASA Science” buttons buzzes with anticipation. Among them stands Eli Orland, who likens America’s space ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...

On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...
