It’s no surprise that quantum physics can be disorienting to the casual observer; after all, it does follow its own set of rules quite different from those of classical physics which rule over our ...

A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...

Fundamental physics faces a stubborn paradox: the current impossibility of reconciling the rules of the quantum world with ...

With simple arguments, researchers show that nature is complicated! Researchers have made a simple experiment that demonstrates that nature violates common sense. The experiment illustrates that light ...

Researchers have proposed a new interpretation of classical physics without real numbers. This new study challenges the traditional view of classical physics as deterministic. Researchers from the ...

Quantum physics has a reputation for needing exotic hardware, from liquid-helium-cooled qubits to sprawling AI clusters, just ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

Glowing electric pickles, flaming money, and flying toilet paper help the Physics Circus at The University of Texas at Austin teach science to non-physicists, especially school children. Now a new ...

Quantum mechanics is not just about teeny particles. It applies to things of all sizes: birds, plants, maybe even people According to standard physics textbooks, quantum mechanics is the theory of the ...

Out with the old: Many undergraduate physics curricula need revamping. (Courtesy: iStock/Pobytov) Physics education has a high inertia towards change. While high-school students in today’s biology ...
