The long-debated idea that we might all be living in a computer simulation—popularized by science fiction films like The Matrix—has taken a major hit.

If you were able to visualize the passage of time, it may appear as looping ribbons of color, these fragments ribboning and ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in light manipulation by using topological insulators to generate both even and odd terahertz frequencies through high-order harmonic generation (HHG). By ...

When I introduced Steven Pinker, it felt like our worldviews couldn't have been more different. Here's why that dissonance was exactly the point.

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

The answer is not a simple particle but a composite entity. A polaron is formed when an electron strongly couples with the ...

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional ...
