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

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and grow chaotic. Instead, the atoms abruptly stopped absorbing energy and locked ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

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

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

A material cooled near absolute zero produced an electrical signal that physics said should not exist, revealing a new kind ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...

Let me tell you about my book "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations," published last year by Springer. It's technical, but I'll describe it in English. Scientists agree the ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...
