The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an ...

The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an insight with potentially major ramifications. A new experimental proposal ...

Is physics finished? The 21st century is often called the age of biology. Or artificial intelligence. Or any other emerging field. This relegates physics to the previous century — the golden days when ...

A 1930s-era breakthrough is helping physicists understand how quantum threads could weave together into a holographic space-time fabric. Until his dying days, the giant of 20th-century physics ...

Detecting a graviton — the hypothetical particle thought to carry the force of gravity — is the ultimate physics experiment. Conventional wisdom, however, says it can’t be done. According to one ...

New observations of microscopic vortices confirm the existence of a paradoxical phase of matter that may also arise inside neutron stars. In a lab nestled between the jagged peaks of the Austrian Alps ...
