Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Physicists are quietly rolling out a new generation of simulation codes that promise to do more than crunch numbers. By ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

What happens when the two most successful theories in science completely disagree? You get quantum gravity—a chaotic battlefield where time might not exist, and gravity behaves like a quantum ghost.

Few topics in science are as fascinating and mind-bending as quantum computing and parallel universes. These concepts, once the exclusive domain of science fiction, are now being seriously explored by ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...

Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. Created to account for atomic phenomena, it has a vast range of applications extending well beyond the atomic realm, from predicting the ...
