Scientists are building a nuclear clock so precise it could detect dark matter and test the laws of physics. The secret? A rare, low-energy transition in thorium-229. Here, we explain the science of ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, ...

The exploration of quantum information challenges objective reality, positing the universe as a hologram is explored through ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...

Claims of leaps in quantum computing are made almost daily, but progress is hard to judge when each research group uses its ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

We've only known that sprites exist for marginally longer, as they were first photographed in 1989. Red sprites are ...
