Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, ...

The world of quantum mechanics, where particles can be in two places at once or entangled with each other across vast distances, sounds spooky to us living in the macroscopic world of classical ...

Red and blue: a photon of two colours has been made. (Courtesy: iStock/-strizh-) Individual photons have been put into a quantum superposition of two different colours by a team of physicists in the ...

Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves that ripple outward from moving celestial objects such as stars or black holes — but such waves are so weak by the time they reach Earth ...

One thing leads to another. It sounds obvious, but in the quantum realm, the saying doesn’t always ring true. A new quantum device can jumble up a sequence of two events so that they take place in ...

Quantum physics tells us about the properties and behaviors of atomic and subatomic particles. But scientists have long held the belief that the rules that govern the microscopic world should also be ...

An international team of researchers recently placed an entire molecule into a state of quantum superposition. This huge breakthrough represents the largest object to ever be observed in such a state ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in solar physics by providing the first direct evidence of small-scale torsional ...
