Every star you see at night broadcasts its temperature through color, yet one shade sits permanently off the menu. The visible spectrum runs from deep red through orange, yellow, white, and blue, each ...

Quantum timekeeping has reached a new threshold, with trapped-ion clocks now accurate to the 19th decimal place and a separate line of theoretical work suggesting that time crystals, exotic quantum ...

While the world discusses the latest advances in generative AI, Alessandro Curioni’s team at IBM Research – Zurich, IBM’s European research center, is already working on a fundamental transformation ...

My daughter says that, on at least two occasions, he has threatened to drown his son, a middle schooler at the same school who the students know by acquaintance, if they do not perform well enough in ...

Although superfluids flow indefinitely, scientists just witnessed one stopping. It could be evidence of a superfluid ...

Immerse in a breathtaking mythological world powered by Unreal Engine 5, filled with magnificent whimsy, intuitive physics, and boundless opportunity for imaginative possibilities. As a member of the ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Physicists saw excitons, a type of quasiparticle, undergo a reversible phase transition from superfluid to supersolid for the first time, opening new doors for studying extreme states of matter.

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

When starting this ice challenge, most people just step on the side of the bowl and slide down to the bottom. Then you’re ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.
