A microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by ...

Can quantum become even bigger than AI? And will it help soften the AI bubble as it seems set to burst? Experts share their ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

For a century, the Schrödinger equation has been the bedrock of quantum mechanics, successfully predicting how matter behaves as a wave. Yet, physics has lacked a fundamental explanation for why ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone of technologies that shape our lives, from lasers and microchips to quantum ...

While you might not think about quantum mechanics being part of your everyday life, it turns out that it might play a role in ...

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...

Record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle.

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...

That low-frequency fuzz that can bedevil cellphone calls has to do with how electrons move through and interact in materials ...

We know that Einstein’s general relativity is, strictly speaking, wrong. That’s because it doesn’t account for quantum effects despite the fact that those e ...
