Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball rolling in ...

This balance—neurons as the silent bee workers, waves as the queen’s rhythm holding the hive together—suggests consciousness ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

The theory holds that space and time are soft, malleable entities. On the largest scales ... Physicists ascribe the inflationary spurt to the potential energy stored in a new quantum field, the ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Quantum devices detect minute variations in gravity, magnetism, and time. They’re transforming how researchers study the ...

AMD’s flagship Instinct MI350 chips, developed on the CDNA 4 architecture, aim to deliver up to four times more AI compute ...

Most people have never heard of vacuum decay, but if it happened it would be the biggest natural disaster in the universe. Sure, an asteroid could destroy a city or wipe out life on Earth. A supernova ...

Cooling atoms with lasers, suspending ions and making refrigerators colder than the surface of Pluto are jobs that most people have never considered.
