Quantum computers may soon outperform the most powerful classical computers, and scientists, researchers – and bankers – are trying to understand how these new super-machines might be used, ready for ...

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

Artificial intelligence has just cracked a problem that has frustrated condensed matter theorists for decades, turning a long-standing maze in frustrated magnet physics into a solved benchmark. By ...

Technological devices are getting ever smaller, but as they approach the scale at which quantum physics matters, our understanding of how they interact with their environment evaporates. James Millen ...

When a researcher asked Nobel Prize winning physicists and other scientists whether there was any new physics left to discover, this is what they said. The story has been told many times. At the ...

From solar panels to nanoscale machines, physics applications of origami and kirigami have surged in recent years. Simon Perks reports (Courtesy: iStock/Li Kim Goh) We’ve all admired the delicate ...
