The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

This year’s Nobel Prize in physics has gone to three scientists who showed that it was possible even for large systems, made up of billions of these small particles, to exhibit quantum behaviour under ...

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast ...

Quantum researchers in the twenty-first century are part of an international network that requires a great deal of ...

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, ...

Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in ...

Olival Freire Jr is a professor of physics and the history of physics at the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil. What makes matter stable? Why are atoms as they are? Why do different materials vary ...

While this may complicate the quest for a clear experimental signature of quantum gravity, it does not render such tests useless. According to the research team, both classical and quantum models of ...

Explore the complex challenges of quantum gravity in this video, examining the evolution of gravity models and the necessity ...

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 ...
