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

Amid some scepticism, many say the machines can now achieve results beyond the capability of traditional computers ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

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

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a significant discovery regarding ...

At first glance, quantum mechanics might seem strange or even impossible. That’s because our everyday experiences of the laws of physics are very different from how matter and energy behave at the ...
