A century ago, quantum physics overthrew our view of a deterministic Universe. A profound 21st century theorem closes the door even further.
There could be variables beyond the ones we've identified and know how to measure. But they can't get rid of quantum weirdness.
A glowing, abstract representation of a brain, with intricate patterns and lights reminiscent of the innovative spirit behind the Nobel Prize in Physics 2024, set against a dark backdrop.
Artificial intelligence is much more than image generation and smart-sounding chatbots; it's also a Nobel-worthy endeavor rooted in physics!
A deep space image showing numerous galaxies of different shapes and sizes scattered across a dark background, with many stars and cosmic objects, including the ancient Methuselah star, also visible throughout.
The Universe is precisely dated at 13.8 billion years old, but astronomers claim the Methuselah star is 14.5 billion years old. What gives?
Abstract green fractal design with smooth, curved lines converging at a central point, resembling a flowing, symmetrical pattern against a dark background, inspired by AI physics.
A new technique that can automatically classify phases of physical systems could help scientists investigate novel materials.
A white rooster, symbolizing the protein origin of life, stands on straw near a wooden fence, a dish, and some greenery in the background.
In the beginning, genes weren't needed.

Quantum superposition challenges our notions of what is real.

They say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. But thanks to these three pioneers in quantum entanglement, perhaps we do.

The game of Plinko perfectly illustrates chaos theory. Even with indistinguishable initial conditions, the outcome is always uncertain.
Our biases, preferences, and ideas of simplicity and elegance can get in the way. Here’s a scientific way to cut through them all. What are the rules governing reality? If you […]
