Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Physicists uncover a universal limit on timekeeping precision, proving that anything from heartbeats to ocean waves can be a ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a significant discovery regarding ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Quantum physics fundamentally redefines our understanding of nature by describing the behaviour of matter and energy at the smallest scales. Unlike classical theories, quantum mechanics reveals that ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Have you ever doubted your knowledge or expertise? Noticed, if you’re a woman, that you receive less recognition than your male colleagues do, that your ideas were unheard in a discussion until they ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...
