Quantum physics

For decades mathematicians have sought some of the most quizzical answers regarding group theory. A TikTok video has brought it to a wider audience.

For decades, scientists have been boggled by outstanding questions about the fundamental nature of everything.

This was a bumper year for breakthroughs in every scientific field, including astronomy and physics.

Conservatives fear change—but quantum physics tell us change and fluidity that defy simple rules are factored into the very mechanics of the universe. Good luck trying to stop us.

Cold Atom Lab experiment led to the production of Bose–Einstein condensates.

Researchers were looking to see if part of the Standard Model of physics would hold up under extreme conditions.

The behavior captured in this photo provides experimental proof of a theory in quantum physics.

Quantum computers have the potential to perform certain tasks much faster than classical computers, although they are still some way away from being a practical reality.

If correct, the new theory would mean these black holes would all have about the same mass.

The new material could be used to create devices that don't lose any energy, such as "dissipation-less" power lines and superfast electronic circuits.

The technique is a bit like the riddle in which two guards, one lying and one honest, are hiding a tiger.

A fundamental equation has cracked the evolution of how planets swarm around the sun.

"We didn't aim for that. But wow."

"It's very uncharted territory," the researchers say.

The image is a glimpse into the mysterious world of quantum physics.

Scientists hit the road with a high-precision clock hooked up to a trailer.

The European Union and the United Kingdom are committing the equivalent of hundreds of millions of dollars each to quantum tech.

Standard radio signals often fail because they can't penetrate complex materials like water or rock. Quantum radio can.

The temperature the physicists achieved corresponds to -459.665 degrees Fahrenheit.

Forget everything you thought you knew about Schrödinger's cat.

Physicists stumbled upon a new theoretical model in which electrons suddenly act the way a ray of light does.

We spoke with physicist Brian Greene to better understand how close to real-life science "The Force" really is.

Scientists have reversed entropy on a microscopic level.

The technology could be a breakthrough in quantum computing.

Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance." Others call it the future of computing.
