Scientists have been using complicated, hypothetical particles to explain the Big Bang, but this theory posits that a simpler ...

Curious about wave behavior and coastal protection? Discover how to construct a wave tank that allows you to explore sea wall ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of ...

A network of optical cavities could be used to detect gravitational waves (GWs) in an unexplored range of frequencies, according to researchers in the UK. Using technology already within reach, the ...

(b) Displacement field within a single particle as a function of contact position (μ). (The dashed box highlights the displacement pattern associated with the polarization-protected BIC.) A joint ...

Trapping ultracold atoms with laser light let researchers magnify and then image the wave functions of atoms that were previously too close together to look like anything but a blob ...

But what have been the most significant physics prizes of the 21st century? I’m including 2000 as part of this century (ignoring pedants who say it didn’t start till 1 January 2001 ). During that time ...

A ‘quantum processor’ has solved a physics problem on the behaviour of magnetism in certain solids that would take the largest conventional supercomputers hundreds of thousands of years to calculate.
