Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

A new theoretical study suggests fusion reactors could do more than generate energy, they might also produce particles linked to dark matter. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say they have ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly ...

In 1977, an American physicist named John H. Van Vleck won the Nobel Prize for his work on magnetism. In his Nobel lecture, ...

The Indian Strings Meeting (ISM) 2025, an international conference on string theory and high-energy physics, was jointly organised by IIT Bhubaneswar and NISER Bhubaneswar from 9th to 14th December ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the critical challenge of optimality-efficiency trade-off for massive-scale quantized phase-only array in near-field beamforming through quantum-inspired optimization.

The Dark Forest theory is one proposed solution to the famed Fermi Paradox, which has bewitched astronomers for more than half a century. To put it concisely, the paradox asks if the cosmos is nearly ...

Researchers at the University of Twente and Utrecht University demonstrated for the first time that quantum states in the ultra-narrow material germanene can be switched on and off using only an ...

Most school science lessons start with particles and forces. Matter comes first. Atoms build molecules, molecules build cells, cells build brains, and only then, when a nervous system becomes ...
