Quantum Experiment Breaks a Long-Standing X-Ray Energy Limit
Helium atoms can produce coherent X-rays at energies beyond the cutoff predicted by standard high-harmonic theory. Credit: Shutterstock…
Physicists create a tiny “Big Bang” with surprisingly small atomic nuclei
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have recreated the primordial state of matter believed to have filled the…
MIT engineers built a small room-temperature device that generates paired radio waves; a message encoded in one signal could be decoded only with its matching partner
MIT researchers develop room-temperature quantum technology using magnetic film to enable secure communication. (AI Image) Quantum technology has…
Physics says a spacecraft with mass can never reach the speed of light: as it accelerates closer to c, the energy required rises without limit, so light speed isn’t merely difficult to reach — for massive objects, it’s physically unattainable.
A powerful enough engine can make a spacecraft move faster and faster. That familiar sentence contains a trap:…
CERN physicists recreate matter from the early universe using ‘Little Big Bangs’
Physicists created signs of primordial quark-gluon plasma by colliding oxygen and neon nuclei, much smaller nuclei than traditionally…
Physics Wallah’s Full-Stack Bet: Looking Into The Revenue Engine
For a generation of Indian students preparing for competitive exams, “Hello bacchon…” became more than a classroom greeting.…
This frozen fiber makes light and sound interact 1,000x more strongly
The transformation of a liquid into a solid is familiar in nature. Lava flowing from a volcano eventually…

A New Quantum Blueprint Could Make States Easier To Tell Apart
Researchers developed a mathematical framework for designing non-Gaussian quantum states that can be made perfectly distinguishable. Credit: Shutterstock…
Lionel Martellini (EDHEC Quantum Institute): Why business leaders need quantum awareness, not quantum washing
Yuval Boger interviews Lionel Martellini, finance professor at the EDHEC and founding director of the EDHEC Quantum Institute.…
The 1919 Eclipse Plates That Proved Einstein Right
For about five minutes on May 29, 1919, the Moon blotted out the Sun over an island in…
Extreme X-rays from a magnetar exposes that empty space may not be empty
A highly magnetized neutron star produced unusually polarized X-rays, offering some of the strongest evidence yet that empty…
