Quantum science is as hard a science as can be created. Understanding it requires in-depth mathematical frameworks with pronouns in their names, like a projective Hilbert space or Von Neumann algebra.

The Universe should not exist. At least, not according to simple physics. After the Big Bang, equal parts matter and ...

Welcome to Physics Explained—formerly Just Enough Physics! We're kicking off this rebrand with a fresh perspective on all things physics. Get ready for clear, concise explanations of complex ...

Hurtling around Jupiter and its 79 moons is the Juno spacecraft, a NASA-funded satellite that sends images from the largest planet in our solar system back to researchers on Earth. These photographs ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

The central idea of the study was an analogy between concepts in magnetism and epidemiology in which electron interaction is compared with interaction among people This is the conclusion of a study ...

Quantum computers, quantum cryptography, and quantum (insert name here) are often in the news these days. Articles about them inevitably refer to entanglement, a property of quantum physics that makes ...

In the late 1980s, a pair of Russian physicists put forward a new theory that just might serve to unite all physics in one model. But it’s so fiendishly complicated that decades later, few physicists ...

“Zsa Zsa Gabor once famously said, ‘Husbands are like fires: they go out if unattended’. So what kept the burning bush burning?”. This is one of many entertaining asides with which Colin Humphreys ...

Robert P Crease uncovers the secret of the conflict between science and religion in responses to a Physics World survey When Physics World carried out a readers’ survey to mark its 20th anniversary in ...
