What if time were reversed? Physicists show how time could flow backward on a quantum scale
Researchers have developed a way to flip time to move backward in a quantum system. This level of control could lead to bizarre real-world applications
NSF awards record number of coveted Ph.D. fellowships in surprise move
Quantum science and AI research are big winners just a year after this U.S. funding giant slashed its Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards in half
How strange new ‘altermagnets’ could rewrite physics
How the discovery of altermagnets could change physics and computing
New fundamental physics measurement deepens quantum mystery
A new calculation helps narrow down the mass of the W boson, one of the heaviest fundamental particles in the universe
Is the ‘Ghost Murmur’ quantum device possible? Scientists are skeptical
Ghost Murmur was described as a futuristic CIA tool that could detect a heartbeat from vast distances. Physicists say the public story clashes with the basic limits of magnetic sensing
How physicists proved that quantum weirdness is a feature, not a bug
Charles H. Bennett and Gilles Brassard, winners of the latest Turing Award, spent their lives touting the advantages of the quantum world
How ultraprecise ‘nuclear clocks’ could transform timekeeping
Superprecise timekeepers based on atomic nuclei could be tested as soon as this year
Did the very young universe make swarms of tiny black holes?
Long ago, the cosmos might have been a black hole factory—and these primordial objects are even weirder than you think
