Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Solar sails have some major advantages over traditional propulsion methods—most notably, they don't use any propellant. But, ...

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time self-induced superradiance in quantum particles, completely flipping what ...

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks ...

A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a long-hypothesized “mystery particle” likely doesn’t exist. Using the MicroBooNE ...

In addition, astrophysical observations had revealed that occasionally, white dwarfs would cool off way faster than expected.
