When mathematicians revived ignored mathematical structures, they found that overlooked particles, called "neglectons," could ...

Medical imaging methods such as ultrasound and MRI are often affected by background noise, which can introduce blurring and ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call ...

For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a ...

A survey of more than 1,000 physicists finds deep disagreements in what quantum theories mean in the real world ...

Quantum encryption scrambles video data using truly random cryptographic keys based on quantum physics. Unlike traditional encryption that relies on mathematical complexity, quantum encryption uses ...

A quantum broadcasting system would end up sending slightly different information to every receiver – and efforts to sidestep ...

Researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna have demonstrated a precise method for reversing time in a quantum system, achieving an average fidelity of more than 95% ...

For example: physics traditionally tells us that all particles can be classified into one of two types, either bosons or fermions, depending on their properties and behavior. But math says that ...

A plucked guitar string can vibrate for seconds before falling silent. A playground swing, emptied of its passenger, will ...

Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go ...
