In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei. Recognizing these numbers helps scientists better understand the structure ...

MAGE is a magic and physics sandbox in early access on Quest 3 that not only offers up fun physics-based mayhem, but does it at an eye-blistering 120 fps. “We feel that no game has truly taken ...

Quantum computers have performed the full slate of tricks needed for robust computation. And it all came down to a little magic. In a pair of papers submitted June 17 at arXiv.org, researchers ...
