Niels Bohr

This thought experiment approaches quantum theory with a morbid twist. In fact, it implies that a copy of you may remain alive, no matter what.

MIT Professor Emeritus Earle Lomon, a longtime member of the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics, has died at 94. He focused on the interactions of hadrons and developed an R-matrix formulation of scattering theory.

Actor Nicole Ari Parker turns 54 and musician Yo-Yo Ma turns 69, among the famous birthdays for Oct. 7.

Researchers discovered how to manipulate quantum forces, revolutionizing nanotechnology and significantly enhancing the capabilities of tiny machines.

David Bohm and Hugh Everett were once ostracized for challenging the dominant thinking in physics. Now, science accepts their ideas, which are said to enrich our understanding of the universe.

Superradiant atoms could help us measure time more precisely than ever before, a theory developed with the aid of the great-grandson of the "father of the...

The ice-bound frontier is suddenly ground zero for testing the fabric of our universe.

MIT Professor Moungi Bawendi received his Nobel Prize in Chemistry in a grand ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden.

Singer Toni Braxton turns 56 and actor Nicole Ari Parker turns 53, among the famous birthdays for Oct. 7.

Letters between Lise Meitner and the chemist Otto Hahn reveal how she struggled with Hahn's failure to credit her work and condemn the Nazi atrocities

'The Making of the Atomic Bomb' details how scientists led humanity to a new era of destruction. Artificial intelligence safety researchers say it offers valuable lessons for humanity's current plight.

Christopher Nolan's film is full of spooky action, but it left me at a distance.

Christopher Nolan apparently has another smash hit on his hands, one that could land the writer/director some major awards later this year if things break right.

One day in Oppenheimer's Manhattan Project, a brief, casual moment of carelessness killed one scientist and severely injured another. In this specially illustrated story, the artist and writer Ben Platts-Mills recounts what happened to these atomic bomb-makers – and why their accident holds powerful lessons for today.

Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" is a kinetic thing of dark, imposing beauty that quakes with the disquieting tremors of a forever rupture in the course of human history, AP Film Writer Jake Coyle writes his review. "Oppenheimer," a feverish three-hour immersion in the life of Manhattan Project mastermind J. Robert Oppenheimer, is poised between the shock and aftershock of the terrible revelation, as one character…

The Manhattan Project wouldn't have been possible without the work of many accomplished female scientists

One week before Oppenheimer hits theaters like an atomic bomb, Universal Pictures has shared an extended preview from Christopher Nolan's latest film.

Some scientists seek to clarify reality, others to mystify it. Physicist David Bohm seemed driven by both impulses. He is renowned for promoting a sensible (according to experts like Einstein, John Bell and philosopher Tim Maudlin) interpretation of quantum mechanics. But Bohm also asserted that sci

What the history of nuclear arms can — and can't — tell us about the future of AI.

Quantum electronics promises significant advances in ultra-sensitive measurements and quantum information processing. In nanoelectronic circuits, one electron can be used to precisely modify the trajectory of another electron through their mutual Coulomb interaction.
