At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?
Quantum oscillations are typically found in metals, but finding this same “electron wiggle” within the bulk of insulators is ...
The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...
In a modern version of the famed double-slit experiment, physicists demonstrated that light cannot behave as both wave and ...
String theory unifies all the forces of nature. Forces that seem very different, such as gravity and electricity, are deeply ...
For obvious reasons, we do not know what the inside of a black hole looks like. But thanks to theoretical physics, we can ask ...
When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ...
A mathematical model suggests that when a pair of black holes gets quantum entangled, this can give rise to a lumpy ...
Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if ...
