A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton ...

Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...

The famous double-slit experiment brings into question the very nature of matter. Its cousin, the quantum eraser experiment, ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly ...

Champaign have developed a new theoretical framework that could dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of predicting chemical reaction energetics without sacrificing accuracy. Led by chemical and ...

An NV center consists of a nitrogen atom replacing a carbon atom and an adjacent vacancy where a carbon atom is missing. "The NV center defect has a few properties, one of which is a degree of freedom ...

A fast and accurate surrogate model screens over 10,000 possible metal-oxide supports for a platinum nanocatalyst to prevent sintering under high temperatures.

What might the second quantum revolution mean for science, technology and our understanding of reality itself?

At first glance, quantum mechanics might seem strange or even impossible. That’s because our everyday experiences of the laws of physics are very different from how matter and energy behave at the ...

The Universe is the stage for titanic collisions between massive objects, generating waves that propagate through the fabric ...
