This year, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke (University of California, Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale University and University of California, Santa Barbara) and John M.

STOCKHOLM — A Northern California scientist and two European researchers won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for proving that tiny particles could retain a connection with each other even when ...

Scientists from two large neutrino studies in the U.S. and Japan join forces to see if the elusive particle might lie at the ...

In 1971, graduate student Stuart Freedman and postdoctoral fellow John Clauser took over a room in the sub-basement of Birge Hall at the University of California, Berkeley, and built an experiment ...

Not everyone is happy with the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. The fact that particles are only statistically likely to be somewhere you expect them to be is a tough cookie to swallow. To ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

During a series of experiments in the mid-80s, the three scientists demonstrated quantum mechanics on a circuit big enough to be held in one’s hand. Three scientists from the UK, France and the US ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

John Clarke, Michel H Devoret and John M. Martinis are announced this year's Nobel Prize winners in Physics, by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at a press conference in Stockhom, Sweden October ...
