Scientists demonstrate real-time quantum feedback control on a 100-qubit system, a key step toward fault-tolerant quantum computers that can fix their own mistakes during calculations.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have observed pair density waves in uranium ditelluride, confirming a 20-year-old prediction that Cooper pairs can exist above the superconducting critical temperature. This discovery provides the first direct evidence of a peculiar quantum state where electron pairs form patterns even when the main superconducting phase has vanished.

Francis Halzen, principal investigator of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, has been awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering work in detecting high-energy neutrinos from space and establishing neutrino astronomy as a new way to study the universe.

Neural reconstructions gain a faster physics check.

Scientists used a trapped-ion quantum computer to simulate string breaking, a process where energy accumulation creates new particle-antiparticle pairs. The experiment reproduces physics similar to conditions after the Big Bang, offering a new tool for studying fundamental matter formation.

An open competition seeks better ways to screen potential superconductors, while keeping computational rankings distinct from experimentally confirmed discoveries.

Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have shown that heating plasma first, then adding fuel, offers a less demanding route to the self-sustaining conditions needed for fusion energy.

According to controversial claims, a chip generates power by harvesting energy directly from the quantum vacuum.

Deepfake detection turns to light: a hybrid optical system screened 15 videos simultaneously with 97.79% accuracy in laboratory tests, raising prospects for less costly synthetic media screening.
