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

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

A team of physics educators is focusing on a new approach to teaching quantum physics in schools. Traditional classroom teaching has tended to focus on presenting the history of the origins of quantum ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...

For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further. Quantum timekeeping comes with the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, a new study ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...
