The discovery honored with this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics takes phenomena observed in the subatomic world—the interactions and behavior of tiny particles like electrons and protons—and puts them ...

John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis discovered quantum physics on a macroscopic scale, paving the way for quantum computing.

How Physicists' Clever Bookkeeping Trick Could Underlie Reality. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ha ...

According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Prize in Physics was to go to "the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics." The prize has been ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That’s normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...

Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in the universe. A team from NTNU suggests that colossal winds from ...

A single speck of light—captured inside a lab at Oxford—turned the abstract into the tangible. It didn’t just win a prize; it showed that we ...

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they created dramatic shockwaves ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025 honors scaled-up quantum physics—while sidestepping controversies swirling around quantum computing ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in medical devices and quantum computing.

Yet even at this apparently late date in the field's development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...
