The physics and astronomy professor sat down with Fifteen Minutes to discuss his work on dark energy and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, the largest digital camera in the world.

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how fast it happens.

In a major advance applying insights from quantum physics to the inner workings of biology, a team of WashU researchers has ...

The nature of quantum particles has long puzzled scientists. While single-particle interference suggests that a photon can behave like a spread-out wave, a whole photon is only ever detected in one ...

Opening-night screening of Project Hail Mary, followed by a live “Ask a Heliophysicist” discussion; Who: SETI Institute scientists and community members; Wh ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

Sparse academic presence on the US President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology reflects a focus on technology ...

Crystalline alloys used in motors today lose some energy through heat, but glass-like metals could solve this engineering dilemma.

At cold temperatures, water has two different liquid phases, which become one at the critical point. The discovery could help ...

Dark matter is some kind of substance that has gravity—it holds galaxies together—yet cannot be directly seen with any instrument yet created. We know it’s out there because of the effects it has on ...

Scientists have observed chimpanzees drumming and noted patterns matching the structure of their vocalizations, creating an ...

A computer language designed to robustly verify mathematical theorems and expose logical flaws has been turned towards a physics paper – and spotted an error. The discovery raises questions about how ...
