Physics and mathematics news and explainers. From quantum mechanics and particle physics to unsolved math problems and new discoveries.
Riemann Hypothesis, Energy Levels and the Endless Hunt for Zeros
A New Scientist video on the Riemann hypothesis is a fine guide to one of mathematics' deepest puzzles. Here is what lies beyond...
Quantum Physics Explained: Where Reality Gets Strange
Quantum physics governs atoms, light, and the technology in your pocket. It is also the most counterintuitive framework in all of science. Here...
Mathematics: The Language That Describes Reality
Mathematics is the language scientists use to describe reality. From prime numbers to infinity, from fractals to unsolved conjectures, here is what makes...
Endless Numbers, Endless Beauty: About Quanta's Infinity Piece
A stunning article from Quanta Magazine walks you through Cantor's diagonal proof for uncountable sets of infinite numbers - and puts the sizes...
Can Physicists Finally Detect the Graviton Particle?
Graviton particle detection may finally be possible. PBS Space Time explains two proposals using quantum phonons and laser interferometers to test whether gravity...
AI Mathematics: Real Breakthroughs Behind the Hype
Something genuinely interesting happened in AI mathematics this winter, and physicist Sabine Hossenfelder cuts through the hype to find it.
Quantum Metric: Hidden Geometry Warps Electrons Like Gravity Bends Light
Quantum metric was pure math for 20 years. Now it's real in everyday materials.
Einstein's Impossible Quantum Experiment Settled: Bohr Was Right
A single rubidium atom finally tests Einstein's 1927 thought experiment designed to break quantum mechanics. Bohr was right - but the reason why...
Why Some Physicists Think Quantum Computers Will Never Work
A small group of scientists argues quantum computing's billion-dollar promise rests on untested physics that breaks down at scale.
Why Electron Orbitals Look Nothing Like Planetary Orbits
Forget the solar system model - electrons exist as standing waves in strange globular shapes that emerge from pure mathematics.
