A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen showed that metallic ...

Scientists have created 3D printed surfaces featuring intricate textures that can be used to bounce unwanted gas particles away from quantum sensors, allowing useful particles like atoms to be ...

At 3.3 billion light-years across, the ring may challenge the “cosmological principle” that the universe looks uniform at sufficiently large scales.

Topological materials could usher in a new age of electronics, but scientists are still discovering surprising aspects of ...

Record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle.

Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller ...

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

Peer reviewed experiments suggest lightning can give birth to glowing plasmoids that look uncannily like UFOs, sparking fresh ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

Scientists aim to build the first graviton detector to explore gravity's quantum nature, despite significant challenges.
