Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

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

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how fast it happens.

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

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

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

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.
