An international team of researchers from Germany, Thailand, India, China and the United States has created a three-component ...

As strange and unique as the laws of the quantum realm appear in our everyday experience, every now and then experiments catch sight of phenomena that seem both alien and yet eerily familiar. For the ...

Researchers at the University of Regensburg and their international partners have found a way to significantly reduce errors ...

Physicists have directly observed a long-predicted quantum effect of gravity, putting one of Einstein’s foundational ideas to a striking new test. Using ultracold atoms, researchers split an atom’s ...

The word "vacuum" may conjure the image of empty space. Maybe you think of a region far outside the solar system without ...

A real mind-melter: Quantum mechanics is strange, but even for a field of science that regularly defies our conventional understanding of reality, the latest discovery is particularly baffling.

There’s a bit of an open secret in physics. Even when our theories work well – and some have been rigorously tested for ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

Measuring gravitational analogues of quantum phenomena could lead to high-precision measurement of gravitational forces, according to a theoretical proposal. Micromuffins. The 1-µm-wide ...
