For four decades, a quiet boundary in pure mathematics kept a powerful theorem locked inside the safe world of finite quantities. Now a new result known as Sebestyen’s theorem has pushed that boundary ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

Contemporary physics has learned to describe the universe with unprecedented precision. Yet when it tries to say what time is, it stumbles again and ...

Step aside, artificial intelligence. Another transformative technology with the potential to reshape industries and reorder ...

It took 125 years, but in 2025 a team of mathematicians discovered the solution to a long-puzzling problem about the ...

As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

Abstract: The wave functions and permitted energy levels of quantum systems, which characterize the probability distributions and particle behaviors, are able to be determined via the time-independent ...

Discover why AI pioneer Yann LeCun, one of the 'Godfathers of AI,' advises young students to prioritize mathematics, physics, and engineering over pure coding skills. In the era of advanced AI, ...
