Trio wins physics Nobel for quantum ‘tunneling’ in a circuit
A trio of physicists won the 2025 Nobel Prize for revealing macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in a superconducting electrical circuit, thereby paving the way for the development of quantum technologies.
The Viewpoint: New research casts doubt on ‘impossible’ signals from Antarctica
After a dedicated search found no evidence of exotic particles traveling through the planet, the mystery of Antarctica's "impossible" signals only deepens.
Physicists find universal rules for quantum entanglement
Researchers have discovered universal principles governing quantum entanglement across all dimensions by applying thermal effective theory, a powerful framework from particle physics.
UC Irvine team discovers new phase of quantum matter
In a breakthrough for quantum physics, scientists have created the first-ever "spin-triplet" excitonic insulator, a new state of matter that could revolutionize electronics and space exploration.
New ‘second law’ of entanglement finally proven
Researchers have discovered a new "second law" for entanglement, proving the process can be made perfectly reversible using a theoretical quantum battery to store and supply the resource.
Scientists teleport quantum bit to solid memory
In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists have teleported quantum information from a telecom-wavelength photon directly to a solid-state quantum memory.
New isotope aluminum-20 seen in rare 3-proton decay
The first-ever observation of the isotope aluminum-20 reveals a rare three-proton decay and challenges a fundamental symmetry in nuclear physics.
