A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, ...
Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...
A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...
Physicists have taken a bold step beyond Einstein's special theory of relativity, proposing an expansion of special relativity that includes observers moving faster than light. This fresh perspective ...
String theory found its origins in an attempt to understand the nascent experiments revealing the strong nuclear force. Eventually another theory, one based on particles called quarks and force ...
Black holes, the densest objects in the universe, eat up anything that comes too close, even light. Is there anything left inside these behemoths that could reveal what they devoured in the first ...
British physicist Stephen Hawking may claim that extra dimensions provide the key to understanding the "grand design" of the universe, but it's Chinese-American mathematician Shing-Tung Yau who ...
