Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve ...

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, ...

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

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Quantum physics didn’t set out to explain the mind. It set out to explain matter. And yet, the deeper scientists went into ...

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

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same ...

A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all.
