The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers.

Two players leverage quantum rules to achieve a seemingly telepathic connection

Purdue University researchers’ discovery not only sheds light on life’s origins on Earth, but could help save lives by enhancing medicinal chemistry reactions

Brilliant flashes could be a clue.

Early life may have been far more like animals than we thought, suggests new research that shows bacteria can 'develop' like an embryo.

The holographic universe principle suggests that we're living in a simulated reality. Essentially, it claims our physical world is nothing more than a detailed illusion, and while this is unlikely, the idea does have some interesting science supporting it.

Every idea needs a Medium

New research from an international team of scientists is suggesting that instantly recognizable earthy smell after rain is released by bacteria trying to attract a particular arthropod as a way to spread its spores.

A team of scientists believe they have found evidence of human activity in North America that dates back 130,000 years ago — more than 100,000 years earlier than believed.

A new theory of consciousness

In a world first, French astronomers and experts at the University of Edinburgh identified the normal matter in the universe that past studies of galaxies and stars have been unable to find.

If you’ve ever looked up at the brightest and closest celestial object in the night sky, our Moon, you’ve probably noticed how different some parts of it appear to be from others. And if you’ve ever taken a look at it through a telescope, especially if it’s not in its full phase, you’ve very likely n

One of the oddest predictions of quantum theory – that a system can't change while you're watching it – has been confirmed in an experiment by Cornell physicists. Their work opens the door to a fundamentally new method to control and manipulate the quantum states of atoms and could lead to new kinds of sensors.

The most comprehensive survey of energy in the nearby universe shows that the energy produced today is only half what it was 2 billion years ago, across all wavelengths.

Quantum physics is a weird world. It studies subatomic particles, which are the essential building blocks of reality. All matter, including ourselves are

Einstein's theory of relativity has an intimidating reputation, but the whole theory can be traced back to a single principle that's simple enough to fit on a bumper sticker: The laws of physics do not depend on how you're moving.

Quantum theorist Christopher Fuchs explains how to solve the paradoxes of quantum mechanics.

Not unlike the fading tones of a ringing crystal goblet, the spacetime continuum andthe universe itself may be oscillating through billions of years of cosmic time, say two U.S. physicists. In a paper recently published in The Astronomical Journal, physicists Harry Ringermacher and Lawrence Mead at the University of Southern Mississippi [...]

Tensor networks could connect space-time froth to quantum information.

The worldview of modern physics teases us with spiritual suggestions like the discovery—premature it seems—of the “God particle.” That nickname embarrasses some in the field, but ever since Fritjof Capra’s book The Tao of Physics, the links between Eastern spiritual traditions and the findings of quantum physics have been tantalizing.   Now they are much […]
