The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

In today's hyper-connected world, cyber threats are more sophisticated and frequent than ever - ransomware attacks, data breaches, social engineering scams, and advanced persistent threats targeting ...

Clarke, Devoret, and Martinis win 2025 Nobel Physics Prize for making quantum mechanics tangible. They showed quantum tunneling and energy quantisation in superconducting circuits. Prize marks quantum ...

Max Planck really kicked off a whole new way of thinking about the universe. Before him, physics was pretty much all about things behaving smoothly and predictably, like a ball rolling down a hill.

Max Planck, a name synonymous with the very beginnings of quantum physics, was a scientist who, while perhaps not seeking a revolution, certainly started one. He’s often called the father of quantum ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum mechanics to infinitely intricate mathematical structures. Hofstadter was ...

Credited to Niels Bohr, this interpretation of quantum mechanics, devised in Copenhagen, was the first attempt to understand the theoretical background of quantum mechanics. It provided a thorough ...

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...

We develop constrained nuclear-electronic orbital density functional theory (CNEO–DFT) with periodic boundary conditions, enabling simultaneous quantum mechanical treatment of both electrons and ...

In 1905, Einstein established relativity under the condition of denying the absolute space-time valid in Newtonian mechanics. In those days, the quantum theory was also established by accepting De ...
