The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

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 ...

A groundbreaking study from Radboud University suggests the universe may end in approximately 10^78 years, significantly ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...

Penn State physicist pioneered research that predicted a new class of exotic particles, 'composite fermions,' which could be integral to high performance electronics and quantum computing UNIVERSITY ...

Physicists have theorized for over a century that light acts as both a particle and a wave, depending on the conditions, but they've never been able to capture it being both at once — until a team in ...

Scientists used fluid dynamics to learn how to get the most flavor from pour-over coffee. By Katrina Miller More than a billion cups of coffee are consumed daily: French-press, espresso, cold brew, ...

Science news this week: A human population isolated for 100,000 years, the biggest spinning structure in the universe, and a pit full of skulls Astronomers close in on comet 3I/ATLAS's origins, a ...

Drexel’s Department of Physics hosted its annual Kaczmarczik Lecture and Science Fair on February 27. This year’s Kaczmarczik Lecture was the 24th installment of this signature College of Arts and ...
