What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world's population—most of them quantum physicists—up at night for decades.

Scientists have discovered a way to create black holes without the mysterious singularities where physics breaks down. By ...

Chien-Shiung Wu’s trailblazing but largely forgotten achievement features in a recent profile of the influential physicist.

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

The Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox describes how quantum theory cannot be described ... and even led Albert Einstein to famously describe this quantum quirk as “spooky action ...
