Quantum Physicist Takes Aim at the Universe’s Mysterious Arrow of Time
Scientists and philosophers have argued over the nature of time since … well, since time immemorial. Does time…
Andrew Crommelin and Charles Davidson took the photograph that proved Einstein right about the universe in 1919. So why does history only remember Arthur Eddington’s name?

A “quantum bath” puts quantum entanglement on autopilot
Future quantum computers may depend on the ability to connect widely separated modules through distributed entanglement. Until now,…
Scientists discover two superconducting states hiding as one
Uncovering this hidden structure could eventually allow researchers to design superconducting materials and devices with greater control and…
What Can Happen When a Rapidly Spinning Star Meets a Black Hole?
Astrophysicists at Syracuse University in New York think they’ve found a hitherto-hidden explanation for strange activity during so-called…
Motorless solid-state cooler uses heat to cool itself; could recycle processor heat into cooling — shape-memory alloy films could turn data center exhaust into refrigeration
A team of scientists in Germany and Japan has demonstrated a solid-state cooling system that uses heat to…

From one hour of study for a thekua to changing how India learns Physics: How HC Verma went from a struggling student in Bihar to a teacher millions turned to
H C Verma is one of the most recognised names in Physics education in India. For years, there…
A millionth of a second after the Big Bang, matter existed as a near-perfect liquid so hot that protons and neutrons could not yet form—and CERN has now recreated a microscopic droplet of it using oxygen nuclei, the smallest collision system yet to reveal one of its defining signatures.
During the universe’s first few microseconds, temperatures were too high for quarks and gluons to remain confined inside…
Quantum interference offers a radically different way to measure time
A new “quantum watch” uses changing interference patterns inside excited helium atoms to determine how much time has…
Scientists catch a laser beam pushing an atom sideways for first time
A spinning table-tennis ball can suddenly bend away from its expected path. This is called the Magnus effect. …
