Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to new research that could help scale up an emerging quantum computing approach ...

“Positronium is the simplest atom composed of equal-mass constituents, and until it self-annihilates, it behaves as a neutral ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

Atom interferometry has emerged as a transformative approach in both fundamental physics and practical applications, utilising the wave nature of atoms to measure minute effects of gravity, rotation ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that question sat at the heart of a famous disagreement between Albert Einstein and ...

Stockholm — John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for research on seemingly obscure quantum tunneling that is advancing digital technology.

Stockholm — Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for studying how electrons zip around atoms in fractions of seconds, a field that could one day lead to better electronics or ...

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This ...
