But here’s the catch: the theory fails to explain why some materials, like high-temperature superconductors, maintain their ...

Harvard University historian Benjamin Wilson's piece in the Bulletin on Hans Bethe and Richard Garwin fails not because his historiography is provocative, but because his understanding of how ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Estonian research organisations aim to establish a new Centre of Excellence for Science and Deep Tech in Estonia, developed in close partnership with the Helsinki Institute of Physics (HIP) and CERN.

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.
