Something odd is happening deep inside the data streams from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A set of “forbidden” patterns in ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.

In an effort to solve the riddle of why we have subjective conciousness, scientists have develop myriad theories, including ones involving the quantum realm. A new theory suggests that consciousness ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new method for measuring how long ultrashort events like quantum tunneling to occur at quantum scale time.

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, ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...
