Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits such as Carnot efficiency, report researchers from Japan. The team developed a ...

What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred years, physics has rested on two foundational theories. Einstein’s general ...

With her students exploring the concepts of how energy behaves in the universe, Heather Walker took the opportunity to introduce her class to the top-of-the-line machinery that is putting this study ...

A new experiment confirms that angular momentum conservation holds even when a single photon is split into two.

The world’s best clocks may be sensitive to an odd mix of quantum and relativistic effects that would stretch time and test the boundaries of physics ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

"With this, we can detect very tiny changes in both position and momentum at once, beyond the limit of any classical sensor," the authors explained.

Have you ever seen a ping pong ball float in midair above a hair dryer? It may seem like a magic trick, but it’s actually a fascinating demonstration of physics and weather science in action.
