Attosecond science allows the extremely fast movements of electron particles to be observed. This emerging field brings both opportunity and controversy.

At a singularity, the laws of physics as we know them suffer a complete breakdown. So such objects really shouldn’t exist.

Quantum information theory is the field behind quantum computing, but experts in this field are also applying their way of thinking to some big questions in quantum physics.

Quantum computing has huge promise from a technical perspective, but the practical benefits are less clear.

Human behaviour is often irrational if viewed through the lens of “classical” physics and probability theory.

Scientists show they can create quantum superpositions of sound particles, pointing to the potential for mechanical quantum computers.

Studying the brief and tiny quantum effects that drive living systems could one day lead to new approaches to treatments and technologies.

The enigma at the centre of our 20-year collaboration was how the Big Bang could have created conditions so perfectly hospitable to life

Some physicists believe we could one day find evidence of other universes.

If we accepted that the future could influence the past, we could get rid of many counter-intuitive aspects of quantum mechanics.
