A South Korean physicist has proposed a theoretical framework that could support the unification of quantum mechanics and the ...

The race to harness quantum mechanics for computing power is finally colliding with the real economy. After a century of ...

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Retired psychiatrist Dr. Sam D. Toney releases Revelation Equation, a science fiction novel grounded in real physics that ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

In the deadly game Russian roulette, a player loads a gun with a single bullet, spins the cylinder to randomize the bullet’s position, and turns the potentially lethal weapon on their own self. But in ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...
