Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

Can physics predict the future? This video explores the concept of predictability in the universe, starting with the ...

Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

Physicists finally identified why some quantum materials seemingly lose their electrical conductivity for no reason.

Can two versions of reality exist at the same time? Physicists say they can — at the quantum level, that is. Fact check: 18 ...

A team of physicists led by Mir Faizal argues the universe cannot be simulated, saying reality includes non-computable truths beyond any algorithm or AI model ...

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.

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional understanding of material behavior and hinting at a mysterious “new duality” ...

Up until now, the simulation hypothesis, which has occasionally received backing from the likes of Elon Musk and Neil ...

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

This week, researchers published LIGO findings that hint at the existence of second-generation black holes. Astronomers captured a spectacular new image of the Milky Way across a wide range of radio ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the dreams of science fiction enthusiasts when he began to study the limits of ...
