A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

It has long been a mystery why pure math can reveal so much about the nature of the physical world. Antimatter was discovered in Paul Dirac’s equations before being detected in cosmic rays. Quarks ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

Quantum computing is slowly entering the mainstream, as more people discuss the technology and its potential within ...

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity describes gravity as the warping of space-time geometry by mass, a concept distinct from Isaac Newton's absolute space and time, and has been empirically ...

Human behaviour is an enigma that fascinates many scientists. And there has been much discussion over the role of probability in explaining how our minds work. Probability is a mathematical framework ...

Theoretical physicists are trying to understand how the many possibilities that exist in quantum physics can become 'real.' A new model developed by UC Davis researchers suggests that there may be ...

Quantum mechanics remains a cornerstone of modern physics, providing a framework for understanding phenomena at the microscopic scale. At the heart of its formulation lies the concept of Hilbert ...

After escaping the Nazis by minutes and then getting smuggled through spy-infested Stockholm, the bomb bay of a British fighter jet might have been a relief to physicist Niels Bohr. His approach to ...
