Physics and mathematics news and explainers. From quantum mechanics and particle physics to unsolved math problems and new discoveries.
When Light Appears to Outrun Itself
JWST captured light echoes racing faster than light around Cassiopeia A. The physics behind the illusion is clear, but three theoretical doors to...
MIT Scientists Double Atomic Clock Precision Using 'Irrelevant' Effect
What looked like meaningless quantum noise turned out to be the key to doubling precision - revealing how breakthroughs hide in what we...
Quantum Tunneling Won the 2025 Physics Nobel Prize
Three physicists proved quantum tunneling works at macroscopic scale, laying the foundation for modern quantum computers.
Nobel Prize Honors Physicists Who Made Quantum Mechanics Human-Sized
Three physicists made billions of particles behave like a single quantum entity - in a device you could hold in your hand.
Gravitational Wave Hunters Find Hidden Signals on a Desktop
While physicists waited decades for space missions, tabletop detectors cracked open a frequency band that was supposed to be unreachable from Earth.
When the Simulation Freezes: A New Method for Physics That Runs at Full Speed
A research team has solved one of computer graphics’ oldest frustrations with physics simulations.
Superconductors could finally detect the Unruh effect
Scientists have found a way to detect "quantum warmth" from empty space using tiny superconducting circuits.
Quantum Cryptography Gets a New Foundation Built on Useless Keys
Two cryptographers built quantum encryption on keys too slow to unlock anything. Their one-way puzzles could survive if all classical cryptography fails.
Frederic Schuller Derived Gravity from Electromagnetism Alone
Frederic Schuller derived Einstein's gravity from Maxwell's electromagnetism alone. Now the Twente physicist targets quantum measurement.
How a Teenager Found the Hidden Law of Prime Numbers
Prime number theorem explained through Gauss's teenage discovery. At 15, he found primes follow a logarithmic pattern, a conjecture proven 104 years later.
