Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

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

Recent breakthroughs in quantum mechanics, highlighted by the Nobel Prize in Physics, are fundamentally changing the energy sector by enabling new forms of energy harvesting that surpass thermodynamic ...

A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all.

Scientists are leveraging quantum physics to develop new energy production methods, aiming to address the computing industry's growing energy demands. Researchers at MIT have devised a novel approach ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study suggests this mysterious ingredient may not be necessary after all. Using an ...

Devices like lasers and other semiconductor-based technologies operate on the principles of quantum mechanics, but they only scratch the surface. To fully exploit quantum phenomena, scientists are ...

Quantum physics didn’t set out to explain the mind. It set out to explain matter. And yet, the deeper scientists went into ...

Nvidia isn’t building quantum computers, instead it’s using its supercomputing strengths to accelerate quantum computing ...

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast off into space. But a team of researchers from TU Wien and their colleagues ...
