A 2006 conference for physicists in the U.S. Virgin Islands that included a trip to Jeffrey Epstein's private island shows how he used his wealth to build relationships with prominent scientists.

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

Physicists have recreated the Nobel Prize–winning quantum Hall effect using light, revealing that photons can follow the same ...

The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challenges of modern physics: loss-free power transmission ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

Mulugeta Bekele is almost single-handedly responsible for having kept Ethiopian physics going in the 1970s and 1980s despite being imprisoned and tortured by the Ethiopian military. Robert P Crease ...

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...
