A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

A real mind-melter: Quantum mechanics is strange, but even for a field of science that regularly defies our conventional understanding of reality, the latest discovery is particularly baffling.

Physicists seem to be obsessed with cats. James Clerk Maxwell, the father of electrodynamics, studied falling feline s to investigate how they turned as they fell. Many physics teachers have used a ...
