Researchers have simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical quantum process often called the "bubble of doom" that could ...

We consider a vacuum to be the lowest energy state of the Universe. But it's possible that there's an even lower-energy, more ...

University of Chicago physicist Clay Córdova has been named a recipient of the 2026 New Horizons in Physics Prize for his ...

Scientists have created tiny “optical tornadoes” — swirling beams of light that twist like miniature whirlwinds — using a ...

Physicists have modelled a quantum mechanism that can result in the end of the universe through the mechanism of false vacuum ...

Over the last few years, optical atomic clocks have broken record after record in precision timekeeping. Atoms are cooled to ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

A new study explores how EOS transmits ultrashort laser pulses through crystals that change in response to an applied electric field. This technique allows researchers to accurately capture the shape ...

Since the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park was backed by the state about two years ago, quantum technology ...
