Particle Physicists Detect ‘Magic’ at the Large Hadron Collider
...place but are very capable of addressing.” This convergence of quantum information theory and particle physics “really is an emergent field,” said Regina Demina, a physicist at the University of...
What Are Lie Groups?
...are crucial to some of the most fundamental theories in physics, and they’ve made lasting contributions to number theory and chemistry. The key to their success is the way they...
The Year in Physics
...100th Birthday Party It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff writer Charlie Wood that my favorite moment of the year in physics happened when he got seasick...
The Biggest Breakthroughs in Physics: 2025
In 2025, physicists spotted a paradigm-shifting new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and discovered that the Earth’s deep interior may be more connected than previously thought, reshaping our picture of the planet’s engine.
In Quantum Mechanics, Nothingness Is the Potential To Be Anything
...with the infinities. In physics — or most of physics, at any rate — energy differences are what really matters, and with care physicists can subtract one infinity from another...
Is Particle Physics Dead, Dying, or Just Hard?
...a new series of essays in Quanta Magazine, I’m taking stock. Is particle physics dying, as Falkowski predicted? Can new physics still be found? What’s the future for particle physicists?...
Are the Mysteries of Quantum Mechanics Beginning To Dissolve?
...classical physics — Newton’s laws of motion and so on — that operate at the scales of everyday life. Zurek’s key idea about how this transition occurs, called decoherence, is...
A New Complexity Theory for the Quantum Age
...computer science — physics I just found conceptually interesting, computer science because of my high school interest in video game design. I quickly dropped physics because I was very bad...
Climate Physicists Face the Ghosts in Their Machines: Clouds
...categorized as artificial intelligence. Schneider leans on AI to better incorporate the effects of clouds into climate models that use physics equations to see what’s ahead. Bretherton, worried that these...
