IBM's quantum computing roadmap leads to the development of quantum processors with thousands of qubits by 2025. Like the early developers of conventional computing methods back in the 1940s, today’s ...

In fusion, hydrogen isotopes are heated to extremely high temperatures until they form plasma – superheated, electrically ...

Penn State scientists have unveiled a new theory-driven method to predict superconductors, offering a possible path toward ...

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be ...

Scientists in the particle physics community are bringing environmental and climate issues to the table in discussions about future research. Using a particle collider requires a lot of energy. For ...

The Trump administration has launched an $80 billion strategic partnership with Westinghouse, Cameco, and Brookfield to build ...

Roland Winston, SB’56, SM’57, PhD’63—a pioneer in solar energy, engineering, and physics—died Feb. 8 at his home in California. He was 88. Winston was a University of Chicago professor in the ...

Kinetic energy has to do with the motion of an object—the faster it’s moving, the more kinetic energy it has. If you take a ball and drop it, it will accelerate downward, which means its kinetic ...
