Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

CERN scientists have analyzed a particle of antimatter isolated in an undecided quantum state known as a superposition for the first time. While the quantum behavior of ordinary matter has been ...

For decades, scientists have hunted for materials that defy conventional ideas of magnetism. Most magnetic materials, like the ones found in fridge magnets, behave in predictable ways. Their atomic ...

Quantum physics has quietly been rewriting the rulebook on matter, and the latest breakthroughs suggest that the so‑called fifth state is no longer a niche laboratory curiosity. From orbiting ...

Researchers in the University of California, Irvine’s Department of Physics & Astronomy were among thousands of scientists from 70 countries to share in the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics ...

Innovation flourishes not because people collaborate more broadly but because the right people fall into productive orbit ...

The Breakthrough Prize Foundation, established by Silicon Valley luminaries including the tech icons behind Google and Facebook, named UC Santa Cruz astrophysicist Rebecca Jensen-Clem and former ...
