There has been considerable debate among physicists over the last 15 years about conflicting measurements of the charge ...

Theories of the impending end of the world are a dime a dozen, but some of those theories take themselves a little bit less ...

In 1999, a Danish physicist named Lene Hau did the unthinkable. She slowed the speed of light. It was a remarkable move that completely changed our idea of universal constants. Since then, Hau has ...

We all know gravity as the invisible force that keeps us grounded. But what if it's not a force at all? What if it's a function? One physicist believes gravity might actually be one of the strongest ...

The Wisconsin Union Directorate welcomed renowned quantum physicist John Martinis to Shannon Hall on March 23 as part of the ...

Quantum advantage is the milestone the field of quantum computing is fervently working toward, where a quantum computer can solve problems that are beyond the reach of the most powerful non-quantum or ...

A Mississippi State physicist has produced a direct laboratory measurement of a key nuclear reaction believed to occur during explosive bursts on neutron stars. These bursts forge heavier elements—the ...

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery—and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a ...

Physicist Carlo Rovelli is preparing to release his latest book, 'There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness' Editor at Large It’s a very good thing Carlo Rovelli did ...

Superconducting materials conduct electricity with no resistance and can be used to make powerful magnets, among other things. UC Davis physicist Inna Vishik was recently awarded a $1.25 million grant ...
