Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

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

Some things are easier to achieve if you're not alone. As researchers from the University of Rostock, Germany have shown, this very human insight also applies to the most fundamental building blocks ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

Physicists long believed time was a basic feature of the universe. But it may just emerge from cosmic information.

Here are three discoveries from quantum physics that quietly changed how we understand the power of the mind, not in mystical language, but in ways that still make scientists uncomfortable. Scroll ...
