John Clarke, Michel H Devoret and John M. Martinis are announced this year's Nobel Prize winners in Physics, by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at a press conference in Stockhom, Sweden October ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

With an applied physics: mechanics degree, you’ll combine physics principles with the design experience of mechanical engineering as you prepare for graduate school or industry work. Become who you’re ...

Meet the team Left to right are Yu Yang, Matteo Fadel, Yiwen Chu and Igor Kladarić. They were the main researchers at ETH Zurich who created the groundbreaking mechanical qubit. (Courtesy: Yu Yang/ETH ...

In 1900, German theoretical physicist Max Planck accidentally gave birth to the field of quantum mechanics (aka quantum physics) when he tried to investigate why the results of his black body ...

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 ...

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development. Sip a glass of wine, and you ...

Briton John Clarke, Frenchman Michel Devoret and American John Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for work on quantum physics in action, the Nobel jury said. The trio was honoured "for ...

Perhaps no other area of physics has enjoyed as much attention from scientists and non-scientists as quantum mechanics. The fame of quantum mechanics theories stands in juxtaposition to the physical ...

At bottom, the entire computer industry is built on quantum mechanics. Modern semiconductor-based electronics rely on the band structure of solid objects. This is fundamentally a quantum phenomenon, ...

Galileo's place in history is legendary: a titan among the earliest of the modern scientists. The first to use the telescope for astronomy, Galileo observed: Yet, as Thony Christie points out for Aeon ...
