Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...

The discovery of gravitational waves in 2015 marked a turning point in our understanding of the universe. But detecting these faint signals was only the beginning. The real challenge lies in ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...

Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank used in the experiments (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of the device. The zoom-in shows the photonic ...

Quantum annealer D-Wave’s Advantage2 was one of the processors used to simulate quantum magnetic phase transitions. (Courtesy: D-Wave Systems) D-Wave Systems has used quantum annealing to do ...

As artificial intelligence explodes in popularity, two of its pioneers have nabbed the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics. The prize surprised many, as these developments are typically associated with ...

A plasma experiment succeeded in twisting light-like waves, and revealed a new, previously unknown rule of extreme physics.

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, fluid motion and observed data, hundreds of these models agree that more carbon ...
