In the world of next-generation energy, researchers are taking a leap beyond chemistry into the strange rules of quantum ...

In the strange, often unintuitive world of quantum physics, one mystery has stood out for decades: Can quantum entanglement be manipulated in a reversible way, like energy in a perfect heat engine?

Instead of the big bang, some physicists have suggested that our universe may have come from a big bounce following another ...

Scientists have finally uncovered a quantum counterpart to Carnot’s famed second law, showing that entanglement—once thought ...

In a major advance for quantum technology, researchers have discovered a surprisingly simple method to preserve atomic spin ...

The strange behavior of quantum physics might seem too unpredictable to rely on for our energy needs, but new technologies hope to capitalize on its very strangeness.

The energy contained in a quantum field comes in integer multiples of some fundamental energy. ... Quantum physics can be intimidating, but if you keep these six key concepts in mind, ...

The quantum energy teleportation protocol was proposed in 2008 and largely ignored. Now two independent experiments have shown that it works. Physics ... quantum physics. Physicists Use Quantum ...

Quantum tunneling is the finite possibility that a particle can break through an energy barrier. (Image credit: getty) The sun makes its energy through a process called nuclear fusion.

The fabric of spacetime is roiling with vibrating quantum fields, known as vacuum energy. It's right there, everywhere we look. But could we ever get anything out of it?

While comparing neurons and transistors is a convenient metaphor (and not completely out of left field), the brain is ...
