Time travel has long been a subject of fascination in science fiction, but recent scientific endeavors suggest that it might not be as far-fetched as once thought. Researchers in laboratories around ...

Quantum Leap met its small-screen end decades ago. But what was the real reason Sam Beckett never leaped again after the ...

A new experiment using Google’s Sycamore quantum processor has taken a bold step toward testing ideas from quantum gravity. For the first time, researchers successfully sent quantum information ...

In the world of quantum physics, the rules that govern reality behave in ways that challenge what we think we know. Particles can be in two places at once. Actions on one particle can instantly affect ...

That sinking feeling before your phone rings with bad news. The inexplicable urge to take a different route home that later saves you from a traffic nightmare. Most people dismiss these moments as ...

In the physical world, time marches in one direction, but things aren’t so straight forward in the quantum realm. Researchers have discovered that it’s possible to speed up, slow down, or reverse the ...

Scientists have taken one more step down the very long road to time travel. A new paper combines the Alcubierre “warp” drive with the idea of “controlled closed timelike curves.” Though far out, ...

This week, researchers published LIGO findings that hint at the existence of second-generation black holes. Astronomers captured a spectacular new image of the Milky Way across a wide range of radio ...

New device emits photons in telecom fiber band from the start, so it avoids a separate converter that can waste photons.

A team at the University at Buffalo has made it possible to simulate complex quantum systems without needing a supercomputer. By expanding the truncated Wigner approximation, they’ve created an ...
