Most of the laws of physics don’t care which direction time is travelling. Forwards, backwards… either way, the laws work exactly the...
To detect the quantum friction of empty space, scientists are going for a spin.A twirling nanoparticle, suspended in a laser beam inside...
Particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are incredibly useful – and usually incredibly huge – instruments for studying some of the...
A unique material that appears to decouple an object’s temperature from the amount of thermal radiation it produces could provide a new...
Alternative facts are spreading like a virus across society. Now it seems they have even infected science – at least the quantum...
Two sets of cosmic discoveries have garnered the 2019 Nobel Prize in physics. Half of the prize of 9 million Swedish kronor...
An elusive hypothetical particle comes in imitation form. Lurking within a solid crystal is a phenomenon that is mathematically similar to proposed...
Quantum supremacy is here, researchers from Google claim. For the first time, a quantum computer has solved a problem that can’t be...
By watching how atoms behave when they’re suspended in midair, rather than in free fall, physicists have come up with a new...
