Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

Two of the forefathers of quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, had a famous argument over whether light is a wave ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

(Aitor Diago/Moment/Getty Images) For the first time, physicists have observed that 'holes' in light can move faster than the light itself. They're known as phase singularities or optical vortices, ...

A team of physicists has shown that pairs of helium atoms, chilled to near absolute zero and launched into each other, can ...

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

A new breakthrough in wireless technology could dramatically boost internet speeds while cutting energy use—by switching from radio waves to light. Researchers have developed a tiny chip packed with ...

Scientific experiments can reshape the world around us. The world has seen a technological shift from old, bulky materials that used up a lot of space and energy to ultra-thin materials that dominate ...

Have you ever wished to drive microscopic matter along an arbitrarily tailored trajectory instead of just a circle? That's ...

NASA’s Artemis II mission is only the tip of the space agency’s lunar-exploration spear: planning for a plethora of ...

Detection decisions (red for absence, blue for presence) are based on the disjunctive integration rule (disjunction and negation of disjunction). Confidence decisions (dashed line for not sure, full ...

Scientists successfully transported a minute quantity of antimatter for the first time, opening up new possibilities for the ...
