A new theory suggests gravity could possibly be the result of entropy—which would mean everything in the universe would fall ...

Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are no longer speculative technologies. They are reshaping cybersecurity, ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means is up for interpretation.

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Quantum machine learning is being actively explored to assess whether quantum resources can enhance learning and inference, yet major obstacles remain. Here, we discuss pressing challenges and outline ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space and time has remained fundamentally disconnected. Relativity unifies space ...

When ultraviolet light hits ice—whether in Earth's polar regions or on distant planets—it triggers a cascade of chemical reactions that have puzzled scientists for decades. Now, researchers at the ...

In the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka teleports a larger-than-life candy bar (and a small child) across the room into a television set. The idea of instantly transporting ...

President Donald Trump helped to transform the nuclear, space and quantum sectors from speculative niches into cornerstones of a national industrial strategy through a series of executive orders in ...

Scientists have uncovered hidden magnetic order inside the pseudogap, bringing us closer to engineering high-temperature superconductors.
