Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, forcing a rethink on ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Physicists long believed time was a basic feature of the universe. But it may just emerge from cosmic information.
