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

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity ...

Imagine traveling through a city where the streets themselves change shape depending on how fast you drive down them. For ...

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

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

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 ...

A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, forcing a rethink on the conditions that govern the behaviors of electrons in certain materials.

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Imagine using just a flicker of sunlight to break stubborn chemical bonds that once required intense energy or toxic chemicals to split. This may sound almost impossible, but chemists at the Hong Kong ...

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

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...
