Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

A groundbreaking study from Radboud University suggests the universe may end in approximately 10^78 years, significantly ...

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

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

It won't be long before Colorado State University Pueblo students are not able to major or minor in physics.

Penn State physicist pioneered research that predicted a new class of exotic particles, 'composite fermions,' which could be integral to high performance electronics and quantum computing UNIVERSITY ...

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

No single country or region dominates quantum-physics research in the Nature Index; institutions from China, Europe and the United States all feature in the top 10. The University of Science and ...
