Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

Research revealing how “thermal” behaviour can emerge from low-complexity dynamics and not necessarily extremely chaotic ones ...

The laws of thermodynamics don't accurately account for the complex processes in living cells – do we need a new one to ...

Today’s state-of-the-art optical clocks offer accuracy to 18 decimal places, which is roughly equivalent to measuring the ...

Superconductive materials can conduct electricity with no resistance, but typically only at very low temperatures. Realizing ...

Quark-gluon plasma, a bizarre state of matter that mimics the early cosmos, is the hottest thing ever made on Earth ...

For all the excitement around new projects, the measure of success remains the same: a reactor that operates safely, reliably, and at scale.

New data reveals black hole jets can accelerate at speeds defying all physical laws, leaving astronomers without a clear ...

In a cafe at CERN in 1992, three physicists realized they disagreed about how many constants are needed to describe all of nature. A recent paper suggests only one – time – is necessary.

What are the physics of life? That is more than just a philosophical question—it has practical implications for our search ...

XRISM’s observations of GX13+1 revealed a slow, fog-like wind instead of the expected high-speed blast, challenging existing models of radiation-driven outflows. The discovery hints that temperature ...

Mood rings have been around for decades, and even though they were once seen as a quirky trend, there’s actually some real ...
