But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

Quantum mechanics looks at how things work at the atomic and subatomic levels, where particles behave in ways that seem ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and ...

For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time'.

In this study, the authors take a foundational step toward creating a general equation of state for liquids based on phonon theory. If successful, such a model could have wide-ranging applications in ...

Explore the physics behind the wild concept of driving a Formula car upside down—an aerodynamic feat once thought impossible. This update breaks down the science, speed thresholds, and ...

Scientists have long observed that the capability for a material to absorb electromagnetic radiation—a wave of energy in the form of sunlight and X-rays, among others—at a given wavelength and angle ...

Tricky Towers could very well be the game that has you laughing and screaming with (or at) your friends for a long time to come. Read our review.
