In this video, I explain why some reactions explode while others cool, exploring the root cause of chemical energy. I discuss the chemistry behind endothermic and exothermic reactions, which involves ...

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to powering quantum computers using quantum batteries—a breakthrough that could make future computers faster, more reliable, and more energy efficient.

Physicists long believed time was a basic feature of the universe. But it may just emerge from cosmic information.

Where is physics headed? No one knows for sure, but Beyond the Quantum by Antony Valentini is a striking new book that ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

As well as being useful for creating an optical ion clock, this multi-ion capability could also be exploited to create quantum-computing architectures based on multiple trapped ions. And because the ...

His explicit goal of ‘creating superhumans’ places him at the center of a debate that usually involves seasoned scientists ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...

“One of the basic axioms of the rational theory of decision under uncertainty is Savage’s (1954) sure-thing principle (STP). It states that if prospect x is preferred to y knowing that Event A ...
