Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...

A team of physicists has shown that pairs of helium atoms, chilled to near absolute zero and launched into each other, can behave as though each atom travels two separate paths at the same time. The ...

Topological quantum materials are hailed as a cornerstone of future technological advancements. Yet, validating their exceptional qualities has always been a lengthy process. Researchers at the ...

Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker in and out, ...

Einstein’s theory of general relativity explains that gravity is caused by a curvature of the directions of space and time. The most familiar manifestation of this is the Earth’s gravity, which keeps ...

An experiment outlined by a UCL-led team could test whether relatively large masses have a quantum nature, resolving the question of whether quantum mechanical description works at a much larger scale ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...
