A gold sphere levitates over a semiconductor with an electrical bias. In new research, engineers at the University of California, Davis, have shown that biased semiconductors can control the Casimir ...

Robert Monjo, Ph.D., mathematics professor at Saint Louis University-Madrid, has introduced a theory that may transform scientists' understanding of gravity and its relationship to quantum physics.

A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest building blocks in nature: atomic nuclei. In new research published in Nature ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

A team of physicists from the University at Buffalo has developed a user-friendly method that allows researchers to solve complex quantum problems, once thought to require massive supercomputers, on ...

Physicists have engineered light to drift sideways in discrete, quantized steps inside a fiber-optic loop, reproducing a signature behavior of the quantum Hall effect without electrons, magnetic ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aliro today announced an agreement with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to provide software and professional services that will enable AFRL to simulate, test, 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 ...
