The quantum physicists Sandu Popescu, Yakir Aharonov and Daniel Rohrlich have been troubled by the same scenario for three decades. It started when they wrote about a surprising wave phenomenon called ...

Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights continue to shape physics. In the fall of 1915, the foundations of physics ...

Recently, a team of researchers made headlines for a stunning announcement: a theoretical breakthrough that expanded our understanding of the first law of thermodynamics. But to understand that result ...

In this educational film, scientist pilot Owen Garot discusses the principles of conservation laws demonstrated during the Skylab missions in the 1970s. He explains conservation of angular momentum ...

IBM's quantum computing roadmap leads to the development of quantum processors with thousands of qubits by 2025. Like the early developers of conventional computing methods back in the 1940s, today’s ...
