A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

How much does life weigh? It sounds like a strange question, but to biologists it makes all the sense in the world. Yeast ...

But in 2024, everything changed for Jordan. VSU announced it would deactivate its physics, astronomy, and mathematics ...

In the 1920s, when quantum mechanics was young, physicists Jane Dewey and Laura Chalk performed some of the first experimental tests of the theory, based on a phenomenon called the Stark effect. Later ...

At just 25, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin applied quantum physics to a treasure trove of astronomical observations to show that stars are mostly hydrogen and helium.

Electrons in graphene can act like a perfect fluid, defying established physical laws. This finding advances both fundamental science and potential quantum technologies. For decades, quantum ...
