For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but ...
A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...
A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.
Physicists have recreated the Nobel Prize–winning quantum Hall effect using light, revealing that photons can follow the same ...
Electrons in graphene break a key law of metals and reveal a strange quantum fluid. The discovery has surprised scientists.
Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...
Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling energy inside our cells. Yet a new line of research argues that protons in ...
Let me tell you about my book "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations," published last year by Springer. It's technical, but I'll describe it in English. Scientists agree the ...
At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or ...
Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...
