A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

D-Wave Quantum (NASDAQ: QBTS) delivered the kind of earnings call that makes headlines, and, for investors paying attention. Revenue doubled year over year. Gross margins expanded. Cash reserves ...

Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin ...

Talk about epic. A collision of two black holes is so extreme that it’s challenging physics theories of how large black holes form and merge. The two black holes had masses bigger than any before ...

DETROIT – What is the definition of a “heat wave”? You hear it all the time when temperatures are about to rise: “A heat wave is heading toward the area.” National Weather Service offices actually set ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

For this project I show how to make make a pendulum wave, an interesting science/physics experiment where a series of pendulums is measured so that each one moves slightly faster than the one before ...

Researchers unlock the mystery of bound states in the continuum using compact mechanical systems. A joint research team from POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) and Jeonbuk National ...

Quantum annealer D-Wave’s Advantage2 was one of the processors used to simulate quantum magnetic phase transitions. (Courtesy: D-Wave Systems) D-Wave Systems has used quantum annealing to do ...
