There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is ...

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

The double slit experiment reveals that observing light changes its behavior, making it act as both a wave and a particle. Donald Trump announces major change for school cafeterias Greenland's only US ...

The way time ticks forward in our universe has long stumped physicists. Now, a new set of tools from entangled atoms to black ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Time might actually have 3 dimensions. But it also means that the space would actually be one-dimensional, instead of the three dimensions we’re familiar with.

The observed near flatness of galactic rotation curves has long been interpreted as evidence for large amounts of non-baryonic dark matter. Here we show that this phenom ...

A model for dense degenerate plasmas that incorporates electron spin indicates that quantum effects can be seen even under conditions previously considered to be in the classical regime. In a ...

Quantum coin flip: In quantum mechanics, wavefunction collapse is traditionally regarded as an instantaneous event, but quantum state diffusion treats it as a gradual process, like a coin that wobbles ...

The ReStore Habitat for Humanity isn’t just big—it’s Texas-sized in both square footage and savings potential, offering the ...

During femtosecond laser fabrication, photons are mainly absorbed by electrons, and the subsequent energy transfer from electrons to ions is of picosecond order. Hence, lattice motion is negligible ...

Lab set-up Researchers have brought a thought experiment devised by Albert Einstein into the laboratory. (Courtesy: Yuchen Zhang) Quantum mechanics famously limits how much information about a system ...
