Believe it or not, the quantum vacuum... isn't completely empty. It has tiny vibrations or “sparks” of energy. If an object crosses this quantum vacuum while ...

What does the passage of time look like for a truly quantum object? The world’s best clocks may soon be able to answer this question, testing how time can stretch and shift in the quantum realm and ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...

Researchers from The University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a novel computational framework that addresses a longstanding challenge in statistical physics.

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial.

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

On 1954, European nations came together to create Cern, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, marking a new era for the field of particle physics. The facility, which serves as a hub for ...

In many cases, the women were labelled simply as Mrs. [Husband’s Full Name]. Since the mid-19th century, the norms around documenting women’s names in archives have evolved significantly. In the past, ...
