Does learning about quantum physics freak you out? A new book aims to change that, and just in time. The second quantum revolution is coming: superconductors that could revolutionise clean energy ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

Everyone has their favourite example of a trick that reliably gets a certain job done, even if they don’t really understand why. Back in the day, it might have been slapping the top of your television ...

Cooling metal bars to near absolute zero, suspending microscopic gold beads, or searching for signs that gravity might be ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest and most fascinating phenomena in physics. Even Einstein didn’t believe it - he called it “spooky action at a distance” - but science has proven it true.

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new study reveals that electrons don’t just need energy to escape solids — they need the right “doorway state.” (CREDIT: MPQ, ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
