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

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

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new study reveals that electrons don’t just need energy to escape solids — they need the right “doorway state.” (CREDIT: MPQ, ...

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

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

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...
