WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, considered one of the world’s most eminent theoretical physicists and a pioneer in modern quantum theory, will join Purdue University President ...

Drexel’s Department of Physics hosted its annual Kaczmarczik Lecture and Science Fair on February 27. This year’s Kaczmarczik Lecture was the 24th installment of this signature College of Arts and ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

In new research published in Physical Review X, scientists have designed quantum control protocols that generate processes more consistent with time flowing backward than forward. The ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
