Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Evidence of quantum particles working together to generate self-sustaining energy pulses has scientists rethinking the entire quantum world.

The rapid acceleration of the universe’s expansion continues to challenge our understanding of fundamental physics. Why the ...

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

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

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...
