For decades, ferromagnetic materials have driven technologies like magnetic hard drives, magnetic random access memories and ...

T-symmetry offers insights into the nature of time, revealing how fundamental physical laws remain invariant under time ...

A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered by chemists—and exemplifies how the second quantum revolution is ...

It explains how the Moon's orbit, influenced by the Earth's movement and tilt, affects distance calculations for lunar missions.

There are striking similarities between how elementary particles come together to form atoms, molecules and eventually ...

The result shows how the spherical orbit of an electron qubit acts outward like a draped sheet. This “forbidden fried egg” could help other quantum physicists build and tune better systems.

Quantum mechanics revolutionizes our understanding of the classical world. A team of Spanish researchers offers a new perspective on the link between quantum and classical. The foundations of quantum ...

Quantum mechanics, or quantum physics, is the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of photons, electrons and the other subatomic particles that make up the universe.

Stern conceived of an experiment that could invalidate Bohr’s theory. He wanted to test whether electrons in a magnetic field could be oriented any which way, or only in discrete directions as Bohr ...

The universe, according to quantum mechanics, is built out of probabilities. An electron is neither here nor there but instead has a likelihood of being in multiple locations—more a cloud of ...
