What if you could create new materials just by shining a light at them? To most, this sounds like science fiction or alchemy, ...

Physicists are preparing an experiment that sounds like science fiction: a device designed to snare individual particles of ...

In 1925, German physicist Werner Heisenberg published a paper on quantum mechanics, upending classical physics and launching the world into the quantum age.

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Previously thought to be incompatible, this discovery shows that strong electron interactions can create stable, "twisted" ...

Researchers have achieved quantum "alchemy" that allows them to alter the properties of materials using high-powered ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Wormholes sit at the edge of science and storytelling, promising shortcuts across the cosmos and even pathways through time.

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

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 ...
