John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.

This infographic depicts a simplified diagram of the novel energy-harvesting technique using the TL liquid. Implementation of this strategy in practice could help in the conversion of waste heat ...

Abstract: Modern silicon-based detectors for high-energy physics operate in an experimental environment with sub-zero temperatures. At those temperatures, even low traces of humidity will produce ...

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright visited the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) on Aug. 20 at a pivotal time for the race toward reliable fusion energy, which decisions ...

From black-hole evaporation to neutron-star interiors, extreme environments and complex dynamics often outpace even the most powerful supercomputers. Enrique Rico Ortega and Sofia Vallecorsa explain ...

A research team at Penn State has reported a significant violation of Kirchhoff’s law of thermal radiation, a principle that has been a foundation of thermal physics for 165 years. Their findings ...

A research team from Penn State has broken a 165-year-old law of thermal radiation with unprecedented strength, setting the stage for more efficient energy harvesting, heat transfer and infrared ...

Quantum computers are beginning to become powerful tools for studying some of the most fundamental forces in the universe – and some of the trickiest to understand. Two experiments have used them to ...

Caroline Igo (she/her/hers) was a wellness editor at CNET and holds Sleep Science Coach and Stress Management certificates from the Spencer Institute. She received her bachelor's degree in creative ...

"There are more questions than answers at this point." Dark energy could have an accomplice that helps it slow the growth of large cosmic structures, such as vast superclusters made up of clusters of ...

The former fracking executive said in confirmation hearings that his top priority would be to “unleash” American energy production. By Brad Plumer Reporting from Washington The Senate confirmed Chris ...
