Quantum computing is moving from physics labs into real hardware, promising to attack problems that overwhelm even the fastest supercomputers. Among the boldest claims is that these machines could ...
The unveiling by IBM of two new quantum supercomputers and Denmark's plans to develop "the world's most powerful commercial quantum computer" mark just two of the latest developments in quantum ...
Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...
They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. After escaping the Nazis by minutes and then getting smuggled through spy-infested Stockholm, the bomb bay of a British fighter ...
Viruses exist at the boundary between living and non-living matter, while skin is a living interface between physics and ...
Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...
If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...
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 physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...
Air combat is racing toward a tipping point where speed, data and exotic physics matter more than radar cross section alone. Seventh generation fighters, hypersonic strike weapons and quantum-enabled ...
