Today's encryption schemes will be vulnerable to future quantum computers, but new algorithms and a quantum internet could help.

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...

Physicists report the first observations of quantum entanglement in top and anti-top quarks, the heaviest known fundamental particles and their antimatter counterparts, inside the Large Hadron ...

Now, scientists at ETH Zurich are using an unexpected tool to breach the blockade: microscopic gas bubbles.

A flower-shaped nanosensor detects biomarkers in the blood associated with the risk of gestational diabetes and other ...
