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 ...

An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

Scientists announced on Wednesday that they have found no evidence for the hypothetical “sterile neutrino,” an extra version of the ghostly neutrino particles that are ubiquitous in the universe. The ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

Before the 20 th century, the first basic mathematical consequence of what would be later understood as a gauge theory was noticed in Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism when the electric and ...

Spin glasses might turn out to be the most useful useless things ever discovered. These materials — which are typically made of metal, not glass — exhibit puzzling behaviors that captivated a small ...

AI is at a crossroads. Enterprises have spent the last several years exploring AI technologies, but most are still searching for revenue-generating opportunities. This year, I expect business AI to ...

Learn how to use vector databases for AI SEO and enhance your content strategy. Find the closest semantic similarity for your target query with efficient vector embeddings. A vector database is a ...

The 16-part course, currently in its pilot phase, is catered to high school students but available to anyone interested in learning about the fundamental questions in particle physics. Jeff Wiener ...
