Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that molecular vibrations can act like a catapult, flinging electrons across solar cell materials in roughly 18 femtoseconds, a timescale so ...

For Cinzia DaVià, collaboration isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the approach she applies to all her professional endeavors.

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...
