Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. Created to account for atomic phenomena, it has a vast range of applications extending well beyond the atomic realm, from predicting the ...

A new argument explores how the growth of disorder could cause massive objects to move toward one another. Physicists are both interested and skeptical. Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

The entangled clocks can test how quantum theory behaves in the presence of curved space-time as predicted by Einstein, or whether our current theories break down. Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 — ...
