The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

What’s common between films, such as Gangs of New York (2002) and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)? Development hell that lasted around 30 years.

Born in Brooklyn in 1942, Freed’s scientific trajectory began early; he and his brother Jack, who himself would go on to ...

The hilarious new comedy Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie might be the closest we ever get to Back to the Future 4.

Several quantum computing stocks could be winners in 2026, including Microsoft and IonQ. However, Alphabet looks the most attractive. Alphabet should benefit from a continued AI tailwind this year.

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

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 ...
