Here's a nice surprise: quantum physics is less complicated than we thought. An international team of researchers has demonstrated that two peculiar features of the quantum world previously considered ...

I like to believe that we embody the names we are given. And since my name is Joyful, I’ve always defaulted to this mental state even in periods of uncertainty. People have repeatedly commented that ...

Quantum particles are not really just particles…they are also waves. The word uncertainty is used a lot in quantum mechanics. One school of thought is that this means there's something out there in ...

Top quark data may encode quantum magic, but the closer scientists look, the more selection, modeling, and proof matter every time ...

Physicists in Austria and Japan are the first to measure two physical quantities that were used in 1927 by Werner Heisenberg in an early formulation of quantum mechanics – but then abandoned because ...

In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle dictates that the position and speed of an object cannot both be known fully precisely at the same time. Researchers now show that two ...

Contemporary physics has captured the public imagination by juxtaposing staggeringly tiny measurements with vast unknowns. The Large Hadron Collider, the enormous particle collider in Switzerland, can ...

Accurately tracking atmospheric greenhouse gases requires not only fast predictions but also reliable estimates of ...

SOMEWHERE in the literature of the theory of O relativity occurs the statement: “The theory of relativity is physics, and we render it no good service by too hastily attributing to it a philosophical ...
