Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated ...

An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...
