More than a century after Srinivasa Ramanujan scribbled his astonishing formulas for π in notebooks in India and England, ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

As the weather grows cold this winter, you may be one of the many Americans pulling their winter jackets out of the closet.

"Quantum" may seem like a useless buzzword, but quantum computing is a real thing, and it's actually understandable even if you don't know physics.

Tiny waves, big implications: Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank used in the experiments (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of the device. The ...

Whether or not Washington ever takes those stakes may matter less than what the rumors represent. We’re witnessing a fusion of industrial policy and market psychology unlike anything since the ...

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 ...

When Jamie Gull graduated from Stanford University in 2007 with a master’s degree in aeronautics, there was one place he wanted to go next: the desert. The Mojave Desert, to be specific. A company ...

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 ...

Abstract: A general recurrent neural network (RNN) model is proposed for reconstructing wave functions with varying parameters. This model is suitable for both real and complex ground-state wave ...
