For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

The spiritual view of life is trapped between two opposite words, physics and metaphysics, the study of the physical world and the study of what might lie beyond the physical. Given a choice ...

The idea of powering a house with a single atom might seem like science fiction, but recent advancements in nuclear physics ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has been getting bigger since the Big Bang. When the hydrogen and helium atoms ...

Last year, scientists at TU Wien studied the formation of quantum entanglement on attosecond timescales, providing the first ...

Credit: QuEra Computing Inc. Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking.

As if atoms weren’t already mind-blowingly small, never mind subatomic particles, CERN researchers in the CMS Collaboration were sifting through data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and ...

The lead isotope known as lead-208 was considered a “double magic” atom because of its subatomic particles —until the reveal of something completely unexpected.

The ATLAS experiment has found quantum entanglement in yet another system: quarks at high energies.

The API failed to deliver the resource. It's an adventure through inner space! Dan Smith is going subatomic to find the smallest things possible, in your "Moment of Science".
