STOCKHOLM (AP) — Nobel Prize in Physics will be announced Tuesday, the second award to be revealed this year by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm a day after a trio of scientists won ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale.

The trio’s research in the 1980s demonstrated a bizarre quantum phenomenon on a scale large enough to see and hold ...

Researchers from the University of Arizona, working with an international team, have captured and controlled quantum uncertainty in real time using ultrafast pulses of light. Their discovery, ...

Heat has always been something we thought we understood. From baking bread to running engines, the idea seemed simple: heat spreads out smoothly, like water soaking through a sponge. That simple ...

According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Prize in Physics was to go to "the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics." The prize has been ...

"With this, we can detect very tiny changes in both position and momentum at once, beyond the limit of any classical sensor," the authors explained.

Scientists at TU Wien (Vienna) report that an exotic quantum phenomenon appears under conditions where it would not normally be expected. Nature follows many rhythms: the Earth’s orbit around the sun ...

As a science reporter for the New York Times, Katrina Miller writes about the universe and how the pursuit of understanding it impacts society. Miller was a 2023 award winner of the National Academies ...

G eorge Smoot, who won a Nobel Prize in Physics for his role in the "discovery of the blackbody form and anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation” in 2006, has died at home at the age ...

Astronomy is, in essence, an exercise in inference. We cannot touch the stars, nor scoop up galaxies in a lab. Instead, we decipher the universe through its light — its color, intensity, rhythm and ...

It's not the first time there have been claims of signs of life on Mars, so why are scientists particularly thrilled now?
