A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve ...

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

Quantum physics didn’t set out to explain the mind. It set out to explain matter. And yet, the deeper scientists went into ...

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Diamonds are no longer just prized for their brilliance. In cutting-edge physics labs, synthetic diamonds with carefully engineered flaws are becoming one of the most promising platforms in modern ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same ...
