Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

Was there ever any choice in the Universe being as it is? Albert Einstein could have been wondering about this when he remarked to mathematician Ernst Strauss: “What I’m really interested in is ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists didn't accept the results Physics has a reputation for being dominated by ...

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...

Down at the level of atoms and electrons, quantum physics describes the behavior of the very smallest objects. Solar panels, LED lights, your mobile phone and MRI scanners in hospitals: all of these ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the strange behavior of atoms and photons. Physicists have long suspected that ...

Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...

Dr. Pravir Malik is the founder and technologist of QIQuantum and the Forbes Technology Council group leader for Quantum Computing. In mid-January, I hosted a Forbes event, IBM Quantum: Shaping the ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...
