Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Thanks to advances in science, we’re now able to move beyond Bohm and Bohr’s theorizing; we can test their hypotheses through ...

Plausible science fiction occupies a space between imagination and inquiry. It does not promise answers so much as ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

In 1974, physicist Stephen Hawking described the potential for tiny, primordial black holes that existed at the dawn of time to explode — and reshaped what we knew about these cosmic behemoths.

The thermometer and the barometer were born in the 1600s and, since then, sensors used for environmental purposes have ...

In 1940, physicist John Wheeler proposed a wild idea: what if every electron in the universe is actually the same electron, ...

Paradoxes, time loops, and multiverses; these science fiction novels  are the gold standard of time travel. From H.G. Wells ...

New research suggests researchers should start by comparing parameters other than time.

"While increasing the number of college graduates benefits both individuals and society, the priority should be strengthening the quality of education, rather than simply maximizing the UNC system’s ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

A groundbreaking computational physics framework has demonstrated that the three-dimensional fabric of the universe can be generated from scratch using a simple algorithm with exactly zero free ...
