Quantum particles have a social life, of a sort. They interact and form relationships with each other, and one of the most important features of a quantum particle is whether it is an introvert—a ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

ABSTRACT: A specific structure of Standard Model (SM) particles is proposed and investigated. According to this proposal, the precursor of an elementary particle is a de Sitter space tangent to ...

The possibility of exploiting entanglement in heavy fermion systems for quantum computing has become increasingly attractive. Unlike conventional qubit platforms such as superconducting circuits or ...

Discovering that electrons can manifest as ‘split-electrons’ in nanoscale circuits, scientists are now on the brink of a technological revolution that could lead to the practical use of Majorana ...

The Stanford Prison Experiment of 1971 is one of the most famous – and infamous – psychological experiments conducted, still discussed in classrooms and pop culture more than half a century on. But ...

The quasiparticle, called a semi-Dirac fermion, was first theorized 16 years ago, but was only recently spotted inside a crystal of semi-metal material called ZrSiS. The observation of the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Tony Bradley covers the intersection of tech and entertainment. In 1971, a groundbreaking experiment was conducted in the basement ...

In August 1971, at the tail end of summer break, the Stanford psychology professor Philip Zimbardo recruited two dozen male college students for what was advertised as “a psychological study of prison ...

ABSTRACT: Math and physics proceed from assumptions to conclusions via a logical path. Artificial intelligence possesses the ability to follow logic, herein specifically applied to the problem of ...
