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 ...

Three scientists at U.S. universities won the Nobel Prize in physics for advancing quantum technology. Here's why their work matters.

Our readers agree that in the unlikely event you were able to approach a neutron star, it would look very smooth and bright ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That’s normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...
