Quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity form the bedrock of the current understanding of physics — yet the two theories don’t seem to…
New book helps readers better understand the elusive ‘Cheshire cat’ we call the quantum world, and sheds new light on longstanding conceptual problems in quantum…
The theories of quantum mechanics and gravity are notorious for being incompatible, despite the efforts of scores of physicists over the past fifty years. However,…
New results are among the strongest evidence yet for “spooky action at a distance.” Last year, physicists at MIT, the University of Vienna, and elsewhere…
Physicists at the University of Innsbruck are on the hunt for nitrogen containing molecules in space. Using terahertz spectroscopy, they directly measured two spectral lines…
An axion is a hypothetical elementary particle whose existence was postulated in order to explain why certain subatomic reactions appear to violate basic symmetry constraints,…
Quantum mechanics is a pillar of modern science and technology, and has benefited the human society for a century. The wave function, also known as…
For the first time, physicists have developed a technique that can peer deep beneath the surface of a material to identify the energies and momenta…
Harvard scientists have proposed a new way to use photons of light instead of silicon chips as qubits, opening the door to new quantum technologies….
New experiments confirm theory of “superballistic” electron flow, revealing how electrons behave like particles in a viscous fluid to help bunches of electrons squeeze through…
Mathematicians reveal a unique property of quantum mechanical particles – they can move in the opposite way to the direction in which they are being…
A new study shows that electrons passing through a narrow constriction in a piece of metal can move much faster than expected, and that they…
New experiments in Calgary tested quantum teleportation in actual infrastructure, representing a major step forward for the technology. Quantum physics is a field that appears…
In a newly published study, a team of scientists detail how they used genetically engineered viruses to enhance energy transport in genetically engineered excitonic networks….
For the first time, a team of physicists has discovered a way to observe and control quantum motion of an object that is large enough…
Scientists at Brown University predict that a material made from hafnium, nitrogen, and carbon would have the highest known melting point, about two-thirds the temperature…
A team of physicists from MIT has successfully cooled molecules in a gas of sodium potassium (NaK) to a temperature of 500 nanokelvins, creating ultracold…
Researchers have developed a new technique that can entangle thousands of atoms with a single photon, opening the door to a new class of entangled…
