The hydrogen molecule H 2 is the simplest stable molecule, with two protons and two electrons bound together. Scientists have studied it for more than a century because it’s small enough that theory ...

For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which ...

Quantum theory explains the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, like atoms and subatomic particles. Unlike ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

Stephen Wolfram, inventor of the Wolfram computational language and the Mathematica software, announced that he may have found a path to the holy grail of physics: A fundamental theory of everything.

When I began my undergraduate physics degree (around 20 years ago), “What is the theory of everything?” was a question that I heard often. It was used as a label for how theoretical physicists were ...
