The Latest Breaking News on Physics

Gravitational astronomy is a relatively new discipline that has opened many doors for astronomers.

In this explainer by The Hindu, Vasudevan Mukunth explains what Majorana means, what a Majorana zero mode is, how Majorana zero modes can help to compute, what topological degeneracy means, how else will topological quantum-computing be better, if Majorana zero modes have been found, and what the Microsoft team has…

There’s some potentially big news on the hunt for dark matter. Astronomers may have a handle on what makes this mysterious cosmic stuff: strange particles called “axions.”

A new experiment by IBM computers shows that quantum computers could soon outperform classical digital computers at practical tasks in the next two years.

Can we build a quantum computer whose information unit is, colloquially speaking, sound? According to a paper published in Science this month, it should be possible. The problem is that researchers can manipulate electrons using electric currents, magnetic fields, etc., and they can manipulate photons with mirrors, lenses, etc. –…

Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider are closing in on an explanation for why we live in a universe of matter and not antimatter.

The incident paved the way for the current version of Foucault pendulum.

The new Parliament is dotted with many such installations, murals and artworks. Roughly ₹200 crore was spent to decorate the interiors, an area of 64,500 square metres.

The Foucault pendulum, named for the French physicist Léon Foucault (1819-1868), is a simple device used to illustrate the earth’s rotation.
