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

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

Physicists have assembled one of the largest and most intricate time crystals yet, using IBM’s latest quantum hardware to ...

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

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

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

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

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 ...
