A big problem with physics is that it’s invented by humans. We see stuff around us and use our observations to build a mental model of the world. Children do this, and of course physicists keep right ...

Quantum computing fans have a new entry point into the market: Pasqal, which roared in its U.S. market debut on Friday. The NFL players union has sent an FBI notice to all of its members seeking ...

AI has had a remarkable impact on higher education since the release of GPT 3.5 in November 2022. For an inordinately long time, many faculty members fought access to the technology for students and ...

Quantum computing is still anyone’s game. Big. Small. In between. Big Tech is once again doing the market’s heavy lifting. That has more than a few on Wall Street very worried. McDonald’s and Fast ...

Zulfi Alam thinks his team doesn’t need to “prove” they engineered a new state of matter in their bid to reinvent computing. Researchers disagree. The man leading Microsoft’s multibillion-dollar ...

Yes, I believe so. Quantum physics and the empirical sciences in general cannot prove God because God is beyond the natural world and beyond the scientific method, even the laws of quantum physics.

In early 2025, special signals wended their way through a fiber-optic highway strung above the streets and sidewalks of the Maryland suburbs. The arrival of those signals at their destination marks a ...

Quantum sensors exploit properties of matter at the smallest scales — like those of electrons and atoms — to measure quantities such as temperature, distance and magnetic fields with unprecedented ...

A new theoretical study offers a possible explanation for how the Universe can grow more complex without violating the second law of thermodynamics. Using a quantum gravity framework called Gravity ...

Our universe is known to be remarkably homogeneous and isotropic. This essentially means that matter is distributed evenly throughout the universe and that it looks almost the same in all directions.

What if time doesn't actually exist until something changes? Scientists at the University of Birmingham created a tiny "mini universe" using 24,000 ultracold atoms and showed that the flow of time can ...
