Metals, as most know them, are good conductors of electricity. That's because the countless electrons in a metal like gold or ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Physicists have used a cutting-edge quantum computer to simulate a complex particle theory in two dimensions. Unlike ...

Scientists are diving into the deep sea to study one of the universe’s biggest mysteries—quantum gravity. Using KM3NeT, a ...

The study of elementary particles and forces is of central importance to our understanding of the universe. Now a team of ...

Even when particles seem to shift in the blink of an eye, as with quantum entanglement, there are measurable intervals ...

A study led by the University of Portsmouth has achieved unprecedented precision in detecting tiny shifts in light ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

A research team from Würzburg and Dresden has demonstrated the phenomenon predicted eight years ago. This could make data ...

In theory, a quantum computer could perform calculations vastly more quickly than today’s conventional computers.

Previously, “both physicists and neuroscientists have largely dismissed the relevance of standard quantum mechanics to neuronal processes, as quantum effects are thought to disappear at the large ...
