At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

Researchers have recreated the physics of extracting energy from a spinning black hole using a stationary device that ...

A black hole is not sitting inside a lab in Manhattan, but some of its strangest physics just helped shape a tabletop experiment there. For decades, physicists have wondered whether waves could steal ...

Whenever light interacts with matter, light appears to slow down. This is not a new observation and standard wave mechanics can describe most of these daily phenomena. For example, when light is ...

This week marks the centenary of the French physicist Louis de Broglie's doctoral thesis, which later earned him a Nobel prize for "his discovery of the wave nature of electrons." This discovery ...

In a potential boon for quantum computing, physicists have shown that topologically protected quantum states can be entangled with other, highly manipulable quantum states in some electronic materials ...

In this analogy, a vortex at the center of a water tank replaces the solenoid that creates a magnetic field in the quantum ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
