A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and ...

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local details. In this respect, it resembles many other quantities studied in ...

Researchers at Rice University report that cerium magnesium hexalluminate, a compound with the formula CeMgAl11O19, is not the quantum spin liquid it was long believed to be. In a peer-reviewed study ...

Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by several telescopes. This approach, known as long-baseline interferometry, ...

For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up the field of biology, tracking what’s happening inside cells. Now these ubiquitous tools are getting ...

One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

I like to go running in my free time. I’m not an especially fast jogger, but I think I could keep up with a tortoise. According to Zeno of Elea, an ancient Greek scholar who lived around 450 B.C.E., ...
