Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...

The question of how gravity interacts with the quantum world has long perplexed physicists, but a non-quantum theory of space ...

A spinning gyroscope doesn't lock onto the Earth, it locks onto the universe, so how do ships coax it into pointing north?

For years, physicists were stuck in trying to explain an important mathematical problem in physics. The right approach ended ...

Together, they form Helios, a new quantum computer built by the British-American company Quantinuum. Quantum computers use ...

The approach is known for high accuracy, but scaling it up while preserving that accuracy is technically difficult. Helios uses barium ions in what is called a quantum charge-coupled device, or QCCD, ...

‘There should not have been a mistake in a paper of that level’ – parent MATSEC will be reviewing the exam papers of students who sat for the Intermediate physics exam after the paper contained ...

Microsoft’s announcement of a new quantum computing breakthrough with its Majorana 2 chip continues a trend of bold claims ...

Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can. By Alexander Nazaryan Researchers in Switzerland ...

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison uncovered a critical flaw in how lunar and Martian rovers are tested on Earth. Simulations revealed that test results have been misleading for decades ...

We look at how experiments might reveal if reality is simulated. The double slit experiment suggests particles behave differently when observed. Evolution based simulations test whether complexity ...

As artificial intelligence systems grow more advanced, their failures are becoming increasingly unpredictable and chaotic. Recent research, highlighted by Claudius Papirus, introduces the concept of ...
