Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Physicists from Stevens Institute of Technology and Yale University have launched an experimental program to detect gravitons ...

How would Einstein have reacted to Bell’s theorem and the experimental results derived from it? Alain Aspect’s new ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Amid some scepticism, many say the machines can now achieve results beyond the capability of traditional computers ...

Chinese scientists have for the first time directly observed the Migdal effect in neutron-nucleus collisions in an experiment ...

A new experiment could in principle test the quantumness of an object regardless of its mass or energy. An experiment outlined by a UCL (University College London)-led team of scientists from the UK ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American This was supposed to be an action-packed ...

An experiment outlined by a UCL-led team could test whether relatively large masses have a quantum nature, resolving the question of whether quantum mechanical description works at a much larger scale ...
