The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

Penn State physicist pioneered research that predicted a new class of exotic particles, 'composite fermions,' which could be integral to high performance electronics and quantum computing UNIVERSITY ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

No single country or region dominates quantum-physics research in the Nature Index; institutions from China, Europe and the United States all feature in the top 10. The University of Science and ...

Max Born made many contributions to quantum theory. This said, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1954 for ...
