Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

Physicists working at ultra-low temperatures have stumbled onto a quantum phase that should not exist according to the usual ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

If your New Year’s resolution is to understand quantum computing this year, take a cue from a 9-year-old podcaster talking to ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Your phone finishes your sentences, your camera detects faces and your streaming app suggests songs you never thought you would want, thanks to classical AI systems. These are powerful logic engines: ...

Possible applications include basic research in physics to design experiments to investigate the relationship between gravity and quantum mechanics. The development of sensors to measure tiny forces ...
