Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

The big bang wasn’t a bang in the traditional sense—but it was nonetheless the start of important things: for one, space; ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers used machine learning to discover multiple new classes of ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new method for measuring how long ultrashort events like quantum tunneling to occur at quantum scale time.

Security is one of the areas where quantum technology could have the most immediate impact. Quantum computers are inching ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

As quantum computers continue to advance, many of today's encryption systems face the risk of becoming obsolete. A powerful ...

This post features biographies and notable quotes from oral history interviews with planetary geophysicist Lynnae Quick, ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

By adjusting a simple chemical ratio, scientists discovered a new way to control exotic quantum states that could underpin the next generation of quantum computers.

Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist ...
