A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

A new framework for understanding the non-monotonic temperature dependence and sign reversal of the chirality-related ...

Scientists aim to build the first graviton detector to explore gravity's quantum nature, despite significant challenges.

A new framework for understanding the nonmonotonic temperature dependence and sign reversal of the chirality-related ...

A physics experiment published this year that claimed to measure a single photon in two places at once – and, in the process, discredit the idea of a multiverse – drew pushback from many sceptical ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter. By Kenneth Chang Just how many types of neutrinos ...

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully completed the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) and released its first physics results.

High energy physicists run on a treadmill that keeps speeding up. Their collider experiments smash particles at dazzling speeds and energies. Detectors identify and track the multitudes of smaller ...

The Condensation on Fins experiment is currently underway inside the Heat Transfer Host 2 facility, installed by Northrop Grumman in the European Columbus laboratory at the end of September. At the ...

From levitating magnets to mind-bending psychology studies, these ten experiments reveal just how surprising - and mysterious - our world can be. Each one challenges what we think we know about ...
