Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...

A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

A record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Conventional wisdom has it that putting the ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

In the late 1970s, legendary physicist John Wheeler proposed a radical question: Exactly when does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? And does it really matter?

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...

In the race to secure digital infrastructure against the looming threat of quantum computing, space has emerged as an indispensable theater. Satellites, once primarily vehicles for reconnaissance and ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world's population—most of them quantum physicists—up at night for decades. At very small scales, we know the ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two ...
