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

Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a superposition of states—being in multiple places and configurations all at ...
