Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world. This is how countless films and stories describe it, but scientists have always ...
Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics. It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff ...
On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...
It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...
Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed a new reinforcement learning (RL) framework that helps train large language models (LLMs) for complex agentic tasks ...
Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...
An exotic dancer-turned-legal eagle is turning her sights on five New York jiggle joints and their managers for allegedly trafficking her and allowing customers to rape and beat her. “When I was ...
Prize awarded for developing 'next generation of quantum technology' 'I'm completely stunned,' says UC Berkeley professor Quantum technology ubiquitous in everyday electronics Physics is second prize ...
On Tuesday the field of quantum mechanics received a thoughtful 100th-birthday present from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences: three shiny new medals, 11 million Swedish kronor (to be divided ...
STOCKHOLM, Sweden ‒ U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for "experiments that revealed quantum physics in action," paving the way ...
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...
John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale. By Katrina Miller and Ali Watkins John Clarke, ...
