Black hole entropy gets a new look as physicists use dynamical horizons to study growing, merging, and evaporating black ...

The renowned British astrophysicist became an example of resilience that demonstrated the human capacity to satisfy the ...

A team at the University of Birmingham has demonstrated, for the first time under controlled conditions, that time need not ...

The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) has announced Q-Dice, a high-performance Quantum Random Number ...

The quantum world is mind-bogglingly counterintuitive: at the smallest scales, basic physical qualities like position and speed are murky, and time as we know it doesn't seem to exist.

Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein calculated the entropy of a black hole in the 1970s, but it took physicists until now to figure out the quantum effects that make the formula work ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a manuscript for publication. Its centerpiece was an innocuous-looking equation ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know.” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...
