Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that quantum sensors can remain highly accurate even in extremely noisy ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

Theoretical physics is the development of mathematical formalisms and computational protocols for describing all aspects of objects found in the world around us and their interaction. This can involve ...

An elegant new equation identifies the surprisingly orderly, mathematical way in which things break, shatter, and fall apart.

The Universe is the stage for titanic collisions between massive objects, generating waves that propagate through the fabric ...

When describing collective properties of macroscopic physical systems, microscopic fluctuations are typically averaged out, ...

Researchers discovered that when atoms interact and remain entangled with light, they emit stronger, more coordinated bursts ...

The decision to decide what basic science research projects are worthy of funding must be left to scientists, not politicians ...

Researchers at Perimeter Institute are now delving deeper into how a specific dark matter candidate, known as ...

A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, ...
