Emmy Noether was hailed as a mathematical genius in her own time. And her theorem on symmetry is still driving new discoveries in particle physics and quantum computing today
A search for particles’ most paradoxical quantum states led researchers to construct a 37-dimensional experiment
Space-time may hide a bizarre new kind of black hole that causes Einstein’s theory of gravity to fail – and could solve the mystery of dark energy
Physicists have verified a connection between two counterintuitive quantum properties, which may help us understand how quantum objects stay inextricably connected through entanglement
When their quantum properties are precisely controlled, some ultracold atoms can resist the laws of physics that suggest everything tends towards disorder
Physicists have created a 3D shape called the cosmohedron, which can be used to reconstruct the quantum wavefunction of the universe – and potentially do away with the idea of space-time as the underlying fabric of the universe
