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

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.

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any ...

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 ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up ...

A team of physics educators is focusing on a new approach to teaching quantum physics in schools. Traditional classroom teaching has tended to focus on presenting the history of the origins of quantum ...

A trio of professors in the U.S. won the Nobel Prize in physics for work that enabled the creation of macroscopic quantum systems, a foundation of quantum computers and other technology. John Clarke, ...

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., ...

Quantonation Ventures, a venture firm investing in quantum and physics-based startups, has closed its oversubscribed second fund at €220 million, or approximately $260 million. That’s more than twice ...

Scientists advocate against the militarization of quantum research, urging transparency and ethics in defense funding for ...
