IonQ says physics-bending processors are now a mere engineering challenge, so it’s buying a foundry to test and tweak them.

The way time ticks forward in our universe has long stumped physicists. Now, a new set of tools from entangled atoms to black ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

A cosmic monster shows up in our backyard and suddenly physics starts acting like it drank five espressos. Let’s explore how ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved.

TechNovator introduces groundbreaking wireless charging technology using energy quantization, enabling simultaneous charging ...

An unexpected discovery in a Harvard lab has led to a breakthrough insight into choosing an unconventional material, silica, ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a physics-informed convolutional network (PICN) scheme to detect bending eavesdropping attacks in dual-polarization coherent optical communication systems. We present a ...

While many Bend restaurants have come and gone in over the years, one has stood the test of time since the Great Depression. In 2026, The Pine Tavern, the city’s oldest restaurant, will celebrate its ...

Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics. It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff ...
