When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

A thumbnail-sized diamond chip just pulled off something that quantum physics says should be extraordinarily difficult: ...

Every second of modern life runs on precision — from GPS navigation to the time signals that keep the internet in sync. But scientists at MIT and Harvard have just taken precision to an entirely new ...

A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using ...

MIT physicists have synthesized a new family of bulk crystals whose electrons behave as though they move in an effectively four-dimensional “superspace,” rather than being fully described by the three ...

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

A new solid-state quantum sensor developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

University of Chicago physicist Clay Córdova has been named a recipient of the 2026 New Horizons in Physics Prize for his ...
