DENVER — An urgent call comes in from the White House. But the recipient is skeptical: They need a way to verify that the message comes from the purported location. Quantum physics has a solution.

President Trump wants to arm his new battleship with an electromagnetic railgun. Only about three companies are known to be working on this kind of weapon. Only one of them is a public stock. It takes ...

IN 2025 A GROUP of theoretical physicists studying the behaviour of fundamental particles called gluons hit a brick wall in their calculations. In search of a fresh perspective, the physicists teamed ...
