Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

This week’s report examines how quantum computing, nanofabrication, and precision measurement are laying the groundwork for industrial adoption.

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

A top AI researcher predicts AI systems may soon rival the intellect of leading theoretical physicists. Jared Kaplan, a ...

Mark Thomson takes the reins at the CERN particle-physics lab, which recently received $1bn in private donations for its next ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Sometimes to truly study something up close, you have to take a step back. That's what Andrea Donnellan does. An expert in Earth sciences and seismology, she gets much of her data from a bird's-eye ...
