Quantum physics has already revolutionized our understanding of the universe, but there’s an even deeper, more terrifying ...

Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black ...

A clever method from Caltech researchers now makes it possible to unravel complex electron-lattice interactions, potentially transforming how we understand and design quantum and electronic materials.

The second law of thermodynamics demands that if we want to make a clock more precise – thereby reducing the disorder, or entropy, in the system – we must add energy to it. Any increase in energy, ...

Rabi-like splitting is one of the key concepts in modern quantum technology. Fully understanding it can help us advance our ...

The Langlands programme has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up ...

The usually grinning founder-turned-mascot has taken on a scowl to ensure the Yum Brands chain gets serious about winning back market share.

In the strange, often unintuitive world of quantum physics, one mystery has stood out for decades: Can quantum entanglement be manipulated in a reversible way, like energy in a perfect heat engine?
