Artificial intelligence has captured headlines recently for its rapidly growing energy demands, and particularly the surging ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

A new study enhances hydrogen molecule predictions, achieving unprecedented precision in testing fundamental physics and ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

Physics simulations using classical mechanics is something that’s fairly easily done on regular consumer hardware, with ...

Right at the brink of a black hole, gravity twists space and time so violently that ordinary physics starts to fall apart. For decades, astronomers could only guess how gas, magnetic fields, and ...

On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...

On Tuesday the field of quantum mechanics received a thoughtful 100th-birthday present from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences: three shiny new medals, 11 million Swedish kronor (to be divided ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...
