Physicists force atoms into state of quantum 'hyper-entanglement' using tweezers made of laser light
By controlling individual atoms, researchers have demonstrated a way to turn previously unwanted atomic motion into an advantage.
Physicists capture 'second sound' for the first time — after nearly 100 years of searching
First theorized in 1938, heat's wave-like flow through superfluids, known as "second sound", has proven difficult to directly observe. Now, a new technique has finally done it, and could be used to study neutron stars and high-temperature superconductors.
Particle physics: Facts about the elementary particles that make up our universe
Discover the fascinating world of particle physics — the most fundamental building blocks of the universe and the forces that connect them.
Does light lose energy as it crosses the universe?
The speed of light is the fastest anything can travel. What happens to a photon from a galaxy 25 million light years away on its journey toward Earth?
Mathematics: Facts about counting, equations, and infamous unsolved problems
Discover interesting facts about mathematics, who invented it and the most famous unsolved problems.
Physicists take step toward a 'theory of everything'
A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
When was math invented?
Humans started counting tens of thousands of years ago, but when did they begin figuring out advanced arithmetic, algebra and even calculus?
World's largest atom smasher turned lead into gold — and then destroyed it in an instant
The world's largest particle collider produces roughly 89,000 gold nuclei every second, all from smashing lead atoms together at near-light-speed.
