“Quantum clocks running at the smallest scales were expected to lower the energy cost of timekeeping, but our new experiment ...

Humanity has achieved remarkable feats, yet 95% of the universe remains invisible and unexplained. Our theories, general ...

Quantum cryptography promises more effective protection. It makes communication secure against eavesdropping by relying on the laws of quantum physics. However, the path toward a quantum internet is ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

The stunning simulation created with Japan's ultra-fast supercomputer, represents almost 10 million neurons, 26 billion ...

Scientists built a tiny clock from single-electron jumps to probe the true energy cost of quantum timekeeping. They ...

A broad association of researchers from across Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of ...

Fans and fireworks helped celebrate the release of "Wicked: For Good" in New York on Monday, November 17. The film is the ...

Bear attacks are on the rise in Japan, and officials in Gifu Prefecture have an unusual solution: a bright pink, 3-foot-wide ...
