Have you ever doubted your knowledge or expertise? Noticed, if you’re a woman, that you receive less recognition than your male colleagues do, that your ideas were unheard in a discussion until they ...
Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...
One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists ...
Giant atoms, artificial atoms larger than the interacting wavelength of light, exhibit decoherence-free behavior, but what ...
Researchers at ETH Zurich have shown, for the first time with very high time and spatial resolution, that electrons in ...
Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical ...
Physicists have identified a new superfluid phase in a class of quantum systems that, until recently, looked too unstable and ...
