A new Duke Quantum Center study shows how quantum simulators can help researchers explore particle formation and the ...

In quantum field theory, spontaneous particle formation can occur when the potential energy between two elementary particles increases with their separation, as if they were confined by a string. When ...

Strike a bell, and it rings with a pitch and a fading that tell you about the bell: its size, its shape, the metal it is made ...

A brief look at string theory and the ideas behind this physics concept.

String theory has been famously untestable for decades. This week the Economist reported that has changed, and the reason involves an extra dimension of space that might be just big enough to notice ...
