At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Physicists have finally watched a fluid that should never freeze lock itself into a crystal pattern, then melt back again, ...

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

For a century, the Schrödinger equation has been the bedrock of quantum mechanics, successfully predicting how matter behaves as a wave. Yet, physics has lacked a fundamental explanation for why ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

"We have long treated the Planck scale like a blurry limit," said Kulkarni. "But if you treat space as an information storage medium, geometry dictates a specific packing efficiency. The universe has ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...
