A deeply disturbing and controversial line of thinking has emerged within the physics community. It's the idea that we are reaching the absolute limit of what we can understand about the world around ...

Most of today's quantum computers rely on qubits with Josephson junctions that work for now but likely won't scale as needed ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

A newly discovered celestial object may be a starless cloud that could change how astronomers understand dark matter.

For a long time, the Greenwald limit was accepted as a given and incorporated into fusion reactor engineering. The new work shows that precise control over how the plasma is created and interacts with ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

In a recent social media post, Joseph Ladapo endorsed the use of structured water, which doesn't actually seem to exist.

China has been investing billions in nuclear fusion research. A potential game-changer for global energy, fusion has been ...
