The LUX-ZEPLIN detector is breaking new ground in the hunt for dark matter, setting unprecedented limits on WIMP particles.

In a study published in Nature, a team led by Harvard and MIT scientists reported a quantum system with more than 3,000 ...

QCi’s photonic chips could reduce the cost of quantum computers. IonQ’s trapped ion technology could shrink quantum processing units. Both of these companies are growing, but one is grossly overvalued ...

Knowable Magazine reports that neutrinos may help explain the universe's missing antimatter, shedding light on matter-antimatter imbalance.

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...
