Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means is up for interpretation.

At the smallest scales, heat engines can do more than Carnot ever imagined. Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have ...

Giant atoms, artificial atoms larger than the interacting wavelength of light, exhibit decoherence-free behavior, but what ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...
