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

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

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
