For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

Landauer's principle is a thermodynamics concept also relevant in information theory, which states that erasing one bit of ...

Helgoland, birthplace of quantum theory, where Werner Heisenberg's breakthrough on matrix mechanics revolutionised physics in ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how ...

Some atomic nuclei are not shaped like rugby balls, as a longstanding theory suggests, but are instead somewhat flattened, ...

Dark matter, although not visible, is believed to make up most of the total mass of the universe. One theory suggests that ...

The Big Bang theory is wrong and the universe is sitting inside a black hole, scientists have suggested. Since the 1930s – when Belgian theoretical physicist Georges Lemaitre proposed the universe ...

In a dark corner of a guest house in Helgoland, a diary by Werner Heisenberg has been discovered, describing how he developed ...

A Yukawa particle is the hypothesized mediator of a possible force within the cores of atoms. If it exists, it would have a subtle influence on how particles making up an atom's nucleus interact with ...

He developed technologies that helped pave the way for the Global Positioning System and made foundational discoveries that ...

Experts believe the universe may have a built-in 'self-destruct button' called false vacuum decay which could destroy the ...
