A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A molecule such as formic acid (methanoic acid, HCOOH) is imagined as ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

A gold sphere levitates over a semiconductor with an electrical bias. In new research, engineers at the University of California, Davis, have shown that biased semiconductors can control the Casimir ...

In this video, we explore the concept of symmetry, regarded as the root of physics. We delve into the significance of ...

Scientists advocate against the militarization of quantum research, urging transparency and ethics in defense funding for ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

An international team of researchers has synthesized a carbon chain molecule with a never-before-seen electronic twist and ...
