One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...

Like physics, math has its own set of “fundamental particles”—the prime numbers, which can’t be broken down into smaller ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably ...

In this video, we explore the concept of symmetry, regarded as the root of physics. We delve into the significance of symmetry and its connection to group theory, particularly Noether's Theorem, which ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen ...

Physicists are scrambling to understand why dark energy is weakening. In a surprising twist, we must now reconsider the ...

Using the Perlmutter supercomputer, researchers achieved a record-scale simulation of a quantum microchip to refine and validate next-generation quantum hardware designs. Researchers from (Berkeley ...

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 has derived a new formula for gluon interactions, overturning assumptions of zero amplitude and advancing theoretical physics.

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...
