With all the attention on the short field topped by Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner Sovereignty, Saturday’s Grade 1, $1 million Travers has left bettors with a sour taste in their mouth. Many ...

By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position ...

As scientists get closer to putting humans on Mars, the need to understand why clocks tick faster on the red planet is more ...

Deep neural networks (DNNs), the machine learning algorithms underpinning the functioning of large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) models, learn to make accurate ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When she was 10 years old, Rose Yu got a birthday present that would change her life—and, potentially, the way we study physics. Her ...

A team of physicists say they have found a way to sidestep Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, one of the more troublesome and irritating rules of our universe. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, for ...

How can we figure out if the planet is actually there? And will it even be bright enough to see? Here are some answers to these and other pressing questions. Others aren’t quite so sure. “I’m very ...

Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights continue to shape physics. In the fall of 1915, the foundations of physics ...

In the coming weeks, Symmetry will explore the ways scientists are using artificial intelligence to advance particle physics and astrophysics—in a series of articles written and illustrated entirely ...

A team of physicists has discovered that it’s possible to build a real, actual, physical warp drive and not break any known rules of physics. One caveat: the vessel doing the warping can’t exceed the ...

A parasitic worm uses static electricity to launch itself onto flying insects, a mechanism uncovered by physicists and ...
