We speak to Cern principal scientist Archana Sharma about pattern recognition, machine learning and quantum technology.

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

In principle, this impossible math allows for a glue-free bridge of stacked blocks that can stretch across the Grand ...

In a chilled lab where temperatures drop close to absolute zero, a speck of magnet hovers in place. This tiny magnet, ...

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.

Stacking one on top of the other, how far can you get the end of the top block to poke over the table's edge? Keep going.

Climate change left its signature on the atmosphere early in the industrial revolution, reveals a thought experiment ...

Inspired by a simple children's toy, a jumping popper toy, researchers have unlocked a key to designing more agile and ...
