This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

Controlling light is an important technological challenge—not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...

In 1965, British mathematician Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture, a concept that suggests that singularities — regions where gravity is so strong that the fabric of spacetime ...

Quantum effects are fundamental in shaping the behaviour of molecular systems, from modifying reaction pathways to influencing physical properties. At the molecular scale, classical theories are often ...

Interactions between electrons in solids often lead to effects that go beyond simple, intuitive pictures of what should be possible. One example stems from the Hall effect, which describes how the ...

Image: a scanning electron microscope micrograph of a strongly crumpled graphene sheet on a silicon wafer. The lateral size of the image is 20 microns. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Using the highest magnetic ...

Scientists have shown that Barkhausen noise can be produced not only through traditional, or classical means, but through quantum mechanical effects. The research represents an advance in fundamental ...
