Newswise — In new research published in Physical Review X, scientists have designed quantum control protocols that generate processes more consistent with time flowing backward than forward. The ...

Newswise — One of the annoying side effects of being absorbed in a gripping novel is that the cup of tea on the table becomes cold! Unfortunately, the tea would not heat itself by absorbing the heat ...

The arrow of time remains a mystery. Take a journey into the fascinating theories physicists use to explain how time moves. The seeming existence of an “arrow of time” is one of the greatest unsolved ...

The arrow of time is a staple of human perception. Every second of every minute of every hour of every day, you live it. If you spill a drink, you can’t reverse time and pull the liquid back into the ...
