Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

In classical physics, anything driven hard enough will eventually heat up, lose coherence, and settle into disorder. A new ...

Researchers have proposed a new interpretation of classical physics without real numbers. This new study challenges the traditional view of classical physics as deterministic. Researchers from the ...

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

My post the other day about how classical rules emerge from quantum ones was spinning off from an NPR post by Adam Becker on quantum reality. The idea of the post is also based on something I'd been ...

Out with the old: Many undergraduate physics curricula need revamping. (Courtesy: iStock/Pobytov) Physics education has a high inertia towards change. While high-school students in today’s biology ...
