(THE CONVERSATION) A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would ...

Luis Jauregui, a professor at UC Irvine, is an expert in quantum physics who is smart enough to describe his work in terms that are foreign to a non-scientist, yet affable enough to explain it anyway, ...

Physicists have measured both the momentum and position of a particle without breaking Heisenberg’s iconic uncertainty principle. In quantum mechanics, particles don’t have fixed properties the way ...

An old video of physicist Michio Kaku has resurfaced amid US President Donald Trump’s hike of H-1B visa fees to $100,000.

Michio Kaku is a prominent American theoretical physicist known for his work in string theory and his efforts to popularise science worldwide. Born in San Jose, California, Kaku’s academic and ...

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 ...

Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear out of thin films instead of electron-positron pairs in a vacuum. Their ...

The internet is full of people claiming to uncover conspiracies in politics and business. During the pandemic, public health experts and pharmaceutical companies became popular targets. Now an ...
