By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected a previously unknown quantum force capable of bending light in ...

Bloch oscillations are periodic oscillations of quantum particles in a repeating energy "landscape" (e.g., a crystal lattice) ...

AI is rewriting the laws of physics, uncovering hidden forces, and reshaping our understanding of the universe. Discover the breakthroughs.

The future of self-regulating microreactors may hinge less on artificial intelligence and more on the principles of physics. This represents a significant departure from the current trend in ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven’t documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...

This story is part of Short Wave's series Space Camp about all the weird, wonderful things happening in the universe. Check out the rest of the series. What does it take to launch into space? Other ...

A new study suggests subatomic particles called muons are breaking the laws of physics. This may mean a mysterious force is affecting muons, which would make our understanding of physics incomplete.

The positively charged protons in atomic nuclei should actually repel each other, and yet even heavy nuclei with many protons and neutrons stick together. The so-called strong interaction is ...

The top quark’s extreme mass makes it decay almost immediately after it is produced. “The top and antitop quarks just have ...
