Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a significant discovery regarding ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

Black holes fascinate the public and scientists alike because they are where it all breaks down: matter, unlucky stars and space flotsam, and our understanding of physics. And while scientists have ...

A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

The first digital “quantum simulator” based on trapped ions has been built by physicists in Austria. The system, developed by Ben Lanyon and colleagues at the University of Innsbruck, comprises a ...

Spin-orbit coupling – a ubiquitous interaction in condensed-matter physics – has been simulated in ultracold neutral atoms for the first time by physicists in the US. Their experiment involves firing ...
