In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, working with colleagues in Norway and Chile, recreated the Aharonov–Bohm effect using water waves in a vortex tank, finding unexpected ...

In physics, quasiparticles are used to describe complex processes in solids. In ultracold quantum gases, these quasiparticles can be reproduced and studied. Now scientists have been able to observe in ...

Particle physicists are building innovative machine-learning algorithms to enhance Monte Carlo simulations with the power of AI. Originally developed nearly a century ago by physicists studying ...

The universe is full of fascinating physics that have been experimentally confirmed but are still far from fully explained. In an unpublished paper, circa 2018, titled The P2P Simulation Hypothesis ...

Wormholes might sound like something that belongs in a Star Trek episode rather than a research paper, but scientists just simulated one on Google’s Sycamore quantum computer. The result suggests ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals, and now dueling teams of researchers are claiming they finally have the ...
