The Latest Breaking News on Physics

This breakthrough will allow researchers to run quantum computers continuously from just a few seconds to several hours at a time.

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets.

A critique of D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE:QBTS), amplified by ‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli, is challenging the company’s viability, alleging its technology is a potential “dead-end.”

A new particle detector has passed a crucial test, demonstrating it's ready to start investigating quark-gluon plasma, the hot particle soup that existed during the first milliseconds of the universe.

IonQ Inc‘s (NYSE:IONQ) second-quarter report presented a microcosm of the larger quantum computing ETF narrative of lofty expectations, ambitious projections, and the harsh reminder of hard economics. Although revenue grew 82% year over year, the company’s mounting losses reminded investors that commercialization is far from a straight line. The stock…

A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery -- and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a survey in the journal Nature said Wednesday.

Scientists made an antimatter qubit made from an antiproton that is in a state of quantum superposition. This breakthrough will allow the strength of the particle's magnetic moment to be measured with unprecedented precision.

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have instead formed inside a colossal black hole.

A researcher throws cold water on a recent effort that purported to eliminate black holes' greatest and most enduring mystery — the existence of their central singularity.
