Atomic scientists set their "Doomsday Clock" on Tuesday closer than ever to midnight, citing aggressive behavior by nuclear ...

We can describe the quantum realm using straightforward mathematics – but once we try to translate these ideas into the real world, things get weird. Our quantum columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

Dark matter seems invisible, but it makes up most matter, and we have evidence that it gives the cosmos its shape. Now ...

Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...

Primordial black holes could rewrite our understanding of dark matter and the early universe. A record-breaking detection at ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

A study involving quantum collapse model has shown that time is not uniform but has tiny fluctuations that put limits on its ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

After decades, Chinese researchers confirm the Migdal effect that may help reveal dark matter particles.

Scientists developed a theory linking mobile and static behaviors of a particle in a Fermi sea, explaining quasiparticles and ...
