Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics. It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff ...

On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...

Prize awarded for developing 'next generation of quantum technology' 'I'm completely stunned,' says UC Berkeley professor Quantum technology ubiquitous in everyday electronics Physics is second prize ...

STOCKHOLM, Sweden ‒ U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for "experiments that revealed quantum physics in action," paving the way ...

Three U.S.-based scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for their discoveries in quantum mechanics. The award was given to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis for ...

It was just past 2:00 am when a mysterious number rang Nobel laureate John Clarke, what he deemed "obviously a joke call" that grew increasingly surreal when he heard "a voice from Sweden." "It soon ...

UC Santa Barbara physicists John Martinis and Michel Devoret have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics. Selected for the honor alongside UC Berkeley physicist and former advisor John Clarke, ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...
