A research team in China has held atoms in a state of quantum superposition for 23 minutes, suggesting tantalizing new ...

Insights The greatest quotes come from some of the world’s greatest thinkers.  Some individuals on this list completely ...

Gravity is the only major force in the universe that doesn’t fit into our current quantum framework, driving the pursuit of a ...

One of the most famous experiments in physics is also one that illustrates, with disturbing simplicity, the bizarreness of the quantum world. The experiment consisted of two slits, through which ...

The actual connection between physics and molecular biology is that curvature and torsion are the most probable solutions ...

A team of physicists from the universities of Amsterdam, Princeton and Oxford have shown that extremely light particles known as axions may occur in large clouds around neutron stars. These axions ...

In a study appearing in Nature, physicists at MIT and Caltech report that they have observed a "black hole triple" for the first time. The new system holds a central black hole in the act of ...

A number of foreign physicists were invited to become the guests of the society, and those who were fortunate enough to be able to do so were treated with the most generous hospitality.

A team of physicists say they have created the first coherent picture of atomic nuclei from their composite particles, quarks and gluons. The 20th century was a pretty busy hundred years for ...

Some physicists believe that a fifth fundamental force could be the cause of some observational anomalies. A new study is investigating ways to closely examine the trajectories of well-documented ...

Fire watchers: To study the physics of firebrands – embers generated by wildfires – UC Irvine researchers set up an experiment at the UC Berkeley Blodgett Forest Research Station in California’s ...

Held annually on 7 November – on the birthday of the world’s first medical physicist, Marie Salomea Skłodowska–Curie – the International Day of Medical Physics raises awareness of the field’s ...
