For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

A fifteen-year-old dubbed "Belgium's little Einstein" has completed his PhD in quantum physics in what could be record time.

The University of Chicago, where Fermi split the atom in 1942, is becoming the center of a new form of advanced technology.

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

Physicists have demonstrated with unprecedented accuracy that the speed of light remains constant. In 1887, a landmark physics experiment was carried out by American researchers Michelson and Morley.

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest discoveries in modern physics — a phenomenon where two particles behave as a ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete ...

AdS/CFT suggests that our three-dimensional universe can be modeled by a two-dimensional surface. AdS (Anti-de Sitter space) ...

In spaces smaller than a wavelength of light, electric currents jump from point to point and magnetic fields corkscrew through atomic lattices in ways that defy intuition. Scientists have only ever ...

What might the second quantum revolution mean for science, technology and our understanding of reality itself?

A 15-year-old prodigy in Belgium has earned a PhD in Quantum Physics, securing his place as one of the youngest PhD holders ...
