English professor lands $400K National Science Foundation grant to improve learning in humanities and science.

But Luis Jauregui’s work, which might power quantum computers needed for long-range space exploration, also shows how basic ...

New observations of two black holes merging have confirmed predictions made decades ago by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, ...

Penn engineers have taken quantum networking from the lab to Verizon’s live fiber network, using a silicon “Q-chip” that ...

To observe the quantum nature of gravity and of spacetime itself, we need a particle collider the size of the solar system. Or we could just physics smarter and build one on a lab ...

Applications have opened for certain Air Force reservists to join the Space Force under its new one-of-a-kind, part-time service model, but advocates for a Space National Guard have pointed out the ...

Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. Created to account for atomic phenomena, it has a vast range of applications extending well beyond the atomic realm, from predicting the ...

Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

Did you know that moving a clock one inch toward the ground would result in a slower tick compared to the same clock positioned higher up? Gravity doesn't just pull things; it also bends time.

A US military space-plane, the X-37B orbital test vehicle, is due to embark on its eighth flight into space on August 21, 2025. Much of what the X-37B does in space is secret. But it serves partly as ...

“How quantum mechanics and gravity fit together is one of the most important outstanding problems in physics,” Kathryn Zurek, a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...
