Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...

Thonotosassa, FL / / December 27, 2025 / Sam Toney Popular science fiction has long shaped public understanding of scientific possibility, yet studies suggest that many widely recognized sci-fi ...

Physicists are quietly rewriting the rulebook for how we might cross the gulf between stars, not by bolting bigger rockets to ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

No single country or region dominates quantum-physics research in the Nature Index; institutions from China, Europe and the United States all feature in the top 10. The University of Science and ...
