Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the ...

Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the ...

When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, known as refraction, is caused by a change in the speed of light as it ...

Physicists artificially slowed down time to reveal the bizarre Terrell-Penrose effect, a consequence of special relativity. This image from the experiment shows a sphere seemingly moving at 99.9 ...

AI model GPT-5.2 collaborates with physicists to discover a new formula in particle physics, reshaping future scientific research methods.
