Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise ...

Can we reveal objects that are hidden in environments completely opaque to the human eye? With conventional imaging ...

Using newly developed mathematical methods, scientists found a way to detect the position of objects hidden in opaque ...

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

For decades, quantum computing has felt like something out of science fiction — abstract, theoretical, and always “10 years ...

A team of physicists say they have found a way to sidestep Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, one of the more troublesome ...

Quantum computing isn't as well known as artificial intelligence (AI), but a small group of these stocks has generated ...

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...

At its core, a Markov chain is a model for predicting the next event in a sequence based only on its state. It possesses ...

Two black holes collided 1.3 billion light years from Earth, creating a 'ringing,' which in turn allowed astrophysicists to test some theories. And it turns out, they were all correct.

Einstein’s version of dark energy is known as the cosmological constant. It implies a fixed amount of dark energy in each ...
