A new study published on arXiv suggests that quantum physics could provide astronomers with a new method to search for ...

When astronomers talk about directly imaging an exoplanet orbiting a faraway star, the analogy they most commonly use is ...

This video provides a simple explanation of symmetry and gauge theory, focusing on their foundational role in physics. It ...

The laws of thermodynamics state that heat naturally flows from hotter systems or regions to colder systems or regions until ...

New calculations seem to have put a 25-year-old particle physics puzzle to rest. But they’ve also created a clash with other ...

A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware.

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

First formulated in 1935, the famous thought experiment attempts to explain the weirdness of quantum superposition, but a new study shows that this theoretical feline is really only the beginning of ...

The comic is the latest step in a broader effort by the institute to make science more engaging. In 2025, IIT Kanpur established the Centre for Educational Research and Teaching Excellence (CERTEX) to ...

To predict when we’ll have a truly useful quantum computer, we need to know precisely what one is. Columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan finds that’s harder to pin down than you might think ...

The only snag was that “Shor’s algorithm”, as it is now known, required something that at the time only existed on university ...
