When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

A ball tossed into the air follows a path that classical physics can track with confidence. Shrink that ball down to the size ...

A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now bridges ...

A visualization of a mathematical apparatus used to capture the physics and behavior of electrons moving on a lattice. Each pixel represents a single interaction between two electrons. Until now, ...

We consider a vacuum to be the lowest energy state of the Universe. But it's possible that there's an even lower-energy, more ...

As Joe Howlett points out, "the Schrödinger equation remains physicists’ foremost window into the quantum realm. It tells scientists how that strange world works; that is, how quantum objects interact ...

The lack of convergence between quantum laws and gravitation remains a persistent problem in physics. A recent advance, materialized by a new equation, however opens a path to bring these fields ...

The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of ...

What exactly is … everything? What is space-time? At one extreme, you’ve got the weird rules of quantum physics that deal with subatomic particles. At the other extreme, you’ve got the vast expanses ...
