Scientists have teamed up to build a microscope that uses a quantum computer to extract additional information from the ...

In his latest book, the world-renowned physicist draws on science and philosophy to explore the notion that the university ...

An international research team at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) has made groundbreaking strides in understanding a ...

Physicists at CERN have found a new way to peer deep inside atomic nuclei and distinguish between two competing explanations ...

In the end, the measured phase of the quantum wave sits 2.5 percent from the theoretical prediction. The result, the team ...

Twist on classic Brownian motion experiment could help test bounds of quantum theory and aid search for new particles ...

A big problem with physics is that it’s invented by humans. We see stuff around us and use our observations to build a mental model of the world. Children do this, and of course physicists keep right ...

Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century, once said something that should either comfort or terrify you: “Nobody understands quantum mechanics.” This wasn’t a confession of ...

A scientific team led by Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, has identified the origin of a mysterious excess of low-energy gamma rays emitted by the nucleus zinc-70. They found that the excess ...

Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, like visible light and radio waves. Atomic nuclei in excited states emit gamma rays as they transition into lower, more stable energy states.

The Danish physicist who gave the atom its quantum structure, won the 1922 Nobel Prize, and built the Copenhagen school that still shapes how we read the quantum world. Niels Bohr is the Danish ...
