A new method developed at the University of Warwick offers the first simple and predictive way to calculate how irregularly ...

Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly enough, they can also briefly borrow their energy from empty space. The haziness ...

The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to ...

The dazzling Orionid meteor shower peaked on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning between midnight and dawn.

In the basement of Connecticut's Beneski Museum of Natural History sit the fossilized footprints of a small, chicken-sized dinosaur. Each track is more ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Since their discovery in 1982, exotic materials known as quasicrystals have bedeviled physicists and chemists. Their atoms arrange ...

The science is unsettled, but researchers say there is cause for concern. Tiny plastic particles like these—called microplastics—are added to some exfoliating skincare gels and can get into the ...

A combined analysis of blood tests to measure three biomarkers linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease—lipoprotein a ...

This paper describes Unbend - a new method for measuring and correcting motions in cryo-EM images, with a particular emphasis on more challenging in situ samples such as lamella and whole cells. The ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

Google achieves the first verifiable quantum advantage with the Willow chip, enhancing understanding of complex quantum systems through innovative measurement techniques.
