Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

Physicists finally identified why some quantum materials seemingly lose their electrical conductivity for no reason.

In the words of Dr. Lawrence M. Krauss, space and time cannot contain the fundamental laws of physics because they generate ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

Alphabet's Echoes algorithm just achieved a major quantum AI breakthrough. Elon Musk says Alphabet's achievement is making quantum computing more relevant. Despite Google's progress, other quantum ...

If these knots had a slight bias toward matter over antimatter, their unraveling could help explain the matter-antimatter ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it. While most physicists agree that human ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...

Libby Heaney’s Growler (2024) is a glass sculpture that looks anything but. Despite its crystalline surface, it appears as if viscous, gummy and glutinous as it sags and drips down the side of its ...
