An experiment with rats under anesthesia showed researchers that tiny structures your brain are responsible for the experience of consciousness. This is a major step toward verifying a theory that our ...

But after reading Decoherence and Quantum Darwinism, a book published in March 2025 by the physicist Wojciech Zurek, I’m excited by the possibility of an answer that does away with all those fanciful ...

NYU researchers created a new type of time crystal suspended in mid-air Sound waves move floating beads in rhythmic patterns, defying basic physics. The experiment reveals motion and energy transfer ...

Abstract: Classical mechanical systems are central to controller design in energy shaping methods of geometric control. However, their expressivity is limited by position-only metrics and the intimate ...

Learn the fundamentals of physics with this clear explanation of Newton’s Laws and the momentum principle! This video breaks down concepts like force, motion, and momentum with easy-to-understand ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows that light’s polarization and entanglement obey a simple identity – written ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a wide range of sensing technologies Levitation has long been pursued by stage ...

Quantum physics can seem pretty tough at first, but there are a lot of books out there that make it way less scary. If you’re just starting out and want to learn about quantum physics without getting ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis for their work on showing how quantum particles can mysteriously tunnel through matter, a process that ...

Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is the fundamental mathematical framework that underlies the modern understanding of particle physics and many-body systems. Rather than viewing the universe as a mere ...

It’s one thing when a respected scientist has a novel idea of what dark matter or dark energy might be, or what could explain spooky quantum phenomena like entanglement and superpositions. But the ...
