Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...

New observations of two black holes merging have confirmed predictions made decades ago by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, ...

Unfortunately, any work you do in the universe will have to be done the old-fashioned way. There may be an infinite amount of energy locked in the vacuum of space-time. So could we ever harness this ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of ...

Expertise from Forbes Councils members, operated under license. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Quantum computing is commonly characterized as an emerging trend to be on the lookout for in ...

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in ...

Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter how far apart they are. A change to one particle seems to ...

Most people have never heard of vacuum decay, but if it happened it would be the biggest natural disaster in the universe. Sure, an asteroid could destroy a city or wipe out life on Earth. A supernova ...
