An artist's illustration of a quantum whirlpool. Physicists have observed the mysterious "sudden death" of quantum fluctuations inside a bizarre superconducting material. The discovery, made in an ...

After escaping the Nazis by minutes and then getting smuggled through spy-infested Stockholm, the bomb bay of a British fighter jet might have been a relief to physicist Niels Bohr. His approach to ...

A team of Princeton University physicists led by (from left) Professor Sanfeng Wu, Professor Nai Phuan Ong, and Dicke Fellow Tiancheng Song, are authors of a new study challenging the conventional ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...

Death is often seen as the end—an absolute, irreversible cessation of consciousness and physical function. For centuries, every culture has developed rituals, religions, and philosophies to grapple ...

Physicists have observed the mysterious "sudden death" of quantum fluctuations inside a bizarre superconducting material. The discovery, made in an atom-thin layer of the semimetallic compound ...
