The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers—supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than ...

In the 1920s, when quantum mechanics was young, physicists Jane Dewey and Laura Chalk performed some of the first experimental tests of the theory, based on a phenomenon called the Stark effect. Later ...

Most musical instruments produce tones whose partial tones, or overtones, are harmonic: their frequencies are whole-number multiples of a fundamental frequency. The piano is an exception ...

Mathematician Grigori Perelman solved the Poincaré conjecture, and then rejected the $1 million prize that came with it.

Visiting Professor John Eric Goff studies the physics behind your favorite sports. His athletic tests are more vital than you ...
