The inevitable leakage of energy and information from a quantum system into its surrounding environment is the enemy of ...

Dom Byrne is a freelance radio and podcast producer based in Brighton, UK. Theoretical physicist Stephon Alexander was 12 years old when his father bought him a saxophone at a garage sale near their ...

Taylor Swift lifts the veil on her record-shattering Eras Tour in The End of an Era, a six-part documentary series and final concert film premiering on Disney+. The first two episodes dive straight ...

If magnonics takes off, future generations may never experience the feeling of panic when your phone battery gets down to 10%. We will be able to process huge amounts of data using very little energy, ...

Discover waves you never node about. Waves are everywhere. They break on the shore of the ocean, bring music to your ears, and carry the signal of your favorite radio station. By attaching a string to ...

Programmable quantum simulators have become the modus optandi for clean and tunable realization of strongly correlated electron systems, with ultracold atom setups hosting a wealth of novel phases.

A decade ago astrophysicists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), operated by the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ...

Complexity science and machine learning are two complementary approaches to discovering and encoding regularities in irreducibly high dimensional phenomena. Whereas complexity science represents a ...

Astronomers have found a background din of exceptionally long-wavelength gravitational waves pervading the cosmos. The cause? Probably supermassive black hole collisions, but more exotic options can’t ...

It has been thought of as many things: a pointlike object, an excitation of a field, a speck of pure math that has cut into reality. But never has physicists’ conception of a particle changed more ...

The Bose-Marletto-Vedral (BMV) experiment tests a quantum gravitational effect predicted by low energy perturbative quantum gravity. It has received attention because it may soon be within ...
