For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...

The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the ...

A deeply disturbing and controversial line of thinking has emerged within the physics community. It's the idea that we are reaching the absolute limit of what we can understand about the world around ...

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Alex May, whose research explores the intersection of quantum ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

A long-standing physics mystery has been solved with the discovery of emergent photon-like behavior inside a strange quantum material. The finding confirms a true 3D quantum spin liquid and unlocks a ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...
