The modern scientific world prides itself on precision, empirical rigour, and the pursuit of measurable truth. Yet, some of ...

For more than 60 years, Bell's theorem has been the gold standard for demonstrating that quantum mechanics defies the rules ...

The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of ...

Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space and time has remained fundamentally disconnected. Relativity unifies space ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...

Frédéric Sarazin, director of quantum at the Colorado School of Mines in the US, talks to Tushna Commissariat about the ...

Scientists have created a powerful new way to control quantum systems, achieving the first-ever demonstration of ...
