Now, in a paper for Physical Review Research, researchers at the Stevens Institute of Technology report an important new breakthrough: a simple but powerful formula that describes the precise closed ...

The results have now been published in Computer Physics Communications. Phoenix solves equations that describe how light interacts with material at the quantum level, which is essential for ...

Quantum mechanics can explain and recover classical results under some specific approximations. However, deriving quantum mechanical results strictly from classical assumption is generally not ...

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 original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 has derived a new formula for gluon interactions, overturning assumptions of zero amplitude and advancing theoretical physics.

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...
