Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

When two observers measure an entangled state, the frequencies of their observed results manifest the strength of quantum theory. Extreme values governing these statistics have now been successfully ...

Theoretical physicists develop mathematical models to describe material systems, which they can then use to make predictions about how materials will behave. One of the most important models is the ...

ELLINGTON, CT (WFSB) - A rising 8th grader who wants to be a theoretical physicist is already getting recognized for his brilliance. Rithvik Suren, 13, was chosen to represent Connecticut in a ...

A team of researchers from Switzerland and France and theoretical physicists in Canada and the U.S., including Rice University, believe they have found evidence of a theorized quantum phenomenon ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Frank Close, a physics professor at Oxford University, about theoretical physicist Peter Higgs. Higgs died on Monday at the age of 94. Even if you're not into theoretical ...

ORLANDO, Fla. – For Dr. Sylvester James Gates Jr., mathematics is magic. The 74-year-old theoretical physicist had always loved math – it ran in the family, after all. His father and grandfather ...

An elegant new equation identifies the surprisingly orderly, mathematical way in which things break, shatter, and fall apart. At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us ...

Peter Higgs, the physicist who predicted the Higgs boson particle, has passed away at the age of 94 due to a blood disorder. His work proposing the particle — and showing how it helped give mass to ...

A theoretical proposal published in the journal Reports on Progress in Physics is making some bold claims about our previous understanding of quantum physics. Mainly, that we were wrong. The proposed ...
