When researchers want to uncover what atoms make up a material, they turn to a number of tried-and-true spectroscopy methods. Spectroscopy works by shining a specific type of light onto a substance ...

Our understanding of black holes, time and the mysterious dark energy that dominates the universe could be revolutionized, as new University of Sheffield research helps unravel the mysteries of the ...

Theoretical and applied training represent two distinct approaches to learning, each with its own benefits and applications. Theoretical training teaches fundamental concepts. For those of you who ...

Theoretical and computational chemistry unites quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and algorithmic innovation to predict and rationalise the behaviour of atoms, molecules and materials. At its ...

For the first time, theoretical physicists from the Institute of Theoretical Physics (IPhT) in Paris-Saclay have completely determined the statistics that can be generated by a system using quantum ...

The illustration depicts an intense laser field (red wave) interacting with Deuterium and Tritium nuclei. By modifying the collision energy distribution, the laser field facilitates quantum tunneling ...

Maths has predicted wormholes, but for now, these bridges through space-time remain hypothetical. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

It’s not often a math paper goes viral, but a new preprint from a theoretical physicist at Poland’s Jagiellonian University has well and truly bucked the trend. Why? Because it seems to reduce all of ...

If you follow the ongoing debate over AI’s growing economic impact, you may have seen the graphic below floating around this month. It comes from an Anthropic report on the labor market impacts of AI ...
