Dr. Vopson argues that we’re living in a simulation because the mathematics behind how the universe functions doesn’t match ...

In physics, quasiparticles are used to describe complex processes in solids. In ultracold quantum gases, these quasiparticles can be reproduced and studied. Now scientists have been able to observe in ...

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

Particle physicists are building innovative machine-learning algorithms to enhance Monte Carlo simulations with the power of AI. Originally developed nearly a century ago by physicists studying ...

Wormholes might sound like something that belongs in a Star Trek episode rather than a research paper, but scientists just simulated one on Google’s Sycamore quantum computer. The result suggests ...

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks and planets in orbit. A growing group of physicists is now treating that ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Scientists made headlines last week for supposedly generating a wormhole. The research, reported in Nature, involves the use of a ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...
