Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how ...

The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unthinkable state of matter that challenges decades of assumptions ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose. This process powers ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown quantum state of matter that could reshape the future of computing, sensing, ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...
