With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists on Tuesday for discovering that a bizarre barrier-defying ...

Recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics have identified a new class of particles known as anyons, which hold the potential to bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and classical physics.

I'm completely stunned,' UC Berkeley professor says after winning a Nobel for work on quantum physics, the technology behind cell phones and more.

The Physics Nobel Prize goes to a trio for proving quantum weirdness—like particles passing through walls—can happen in the ...

On Tuesday the field of quantum mechanics received a thoughtful 100th-birthday present from the Royal Swedish Academy of ...

Classical physics is characterized by the equations describing the world. Yet our day-to-day experience is struck by this deterministic vision of the world. A physicist has been analyzing the ...

When optical materials (molecules or solid-state semiconductors) are embedded in tiny photonic boxes, known as optical microcavities, they form hybrid light-matter states known as polaritons. Most of ...

Nobel laureates demonstrate quantum tunnelling in macroscopic systems, impacting quantum computing and highlighting the ...

Quantum computing is still in its early stages of development, but researchers have extensively explored its potential uses.

Researchers have proposed a new interpretation of classical physics without real numbers. This new study challenges the traditional view of classical physics as deterministic. Researchers from the ...

Bates is welcoming a large group of new faculty this year. Seventeen tenured or tenure-track professors will join the college ...
