A strange metal can fit in your hand, yet still behave in ways that seem to belong to a far smaller world. In a new ...

Theoretical physicists studying quantum fields in curved spacetime have built a growing body of calculations showing that ...

With the help of a new experiment, researchers have succeeded in confirming a ten-year-old theoretical study, which connects one of the most fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics -- the ...

Is nature really as strange as quantum theory says—or are there simpler explanations? Neutron measurements at TU Wien prove that it doesn't work without the strange properties of quantum theory. Can a ...

Quantum entanglement is often described as one of nature’s strangest secrets. Now, scientists have found it inside a crystal ...

Space and time looked settled, at least in broad outline. Einstein’s special relativity gave physics a durable framework for describing motion, and for more than a century one boundary seemed firm: ...

A new theory suggests the universe is constantly recording its own history in the fabric of spacetime. If correct, this ...

Theoretical physicists have established a close connection between the two rapidly developing fields in theoretical physics, quantum information theory and non-invertible symmetries in particle and ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

Scientists are a step closer to unraveling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level. Experts have never fully understood how the force that ...

Faster-than-light particles have spent decades in physics as both temptation and warning. They offered a way to test the ...
