For the first time, astronomers have captured the brilliance of a superluminous supernova via gravitational lensing.

The microscopic processes taking place in superconductors are difficult to observe directly. Researchers at the RPTU ...

Scientists have managed to observe solar neutrinos carrying out a rare atomic transformation deep underground, converting carbon-13 into nitrogen-13 inside the SNO+ detector. By tracking two faint ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...

The exploration of quantum information challenges objective reality, positing the universe as a hologram is explored through ...

Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...

Exceptionally precise' set-up mimics thought experiment devised by sceptical genius to disprove the then-emerging field For ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest discoveries in modern physics — a phenomenon where two particles behave as a single object, even across vast distances. Einstein rejected it, calling it ...

Jazz pianist Gerald Clayton has a new album. We have a few questions. After a couple of decades as one of his field’s most inventive, talented and in-demand players, he wanted to try something ...

In 1995, two papers reported long-sought proof of an exotic state of matter — with applications in fields as diverse as quantum computing and cosmology. Read the paper: Observation of Bose-Einstein ...

The two stars in the nearby system ZTF J2130 are spiraling toward a catastrophic supernova. In the meantime, scientists are using the pair's slow orbital decay to put Einstein's theory of gravity to ...
