Scientists studied a specific setup of quantum materials in order to see what may be possible. Electrons that switch from ...

Physicists are rapidly expanding the traditional menu of matter beyond solids, liquids, gases and plasmas, uncovering exotic phases that behave in ways no classroom diagram ever captured. In the ...

A new study takes the GHZ paradox, which describes how quantum theory can't be described by local realistic descriptions, to ...

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

Tube trains of the future may soon know exactly where they are underground -- even in places where GPS is blind -- by tapping ...

Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

In classical physics, anything driven hard enough will eventually heat up, lose coherence, and settle into disorder. A new ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Batteries could charge up by relying on a quantum effect known as indefinite causal order, whereby the laws of cause and effect are scrambled and power can move through the system quicker. When you ...
