Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics finally starting to crack, or are we just getting better at asking sharper questions? Since the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics honored experiments on quantum ...

An experiment outlined by a UCL-led team could test whether relatively large masses have a quantum nature, resolving the question of whether quantum mechanical description works at a much larger scale ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to Albert Einstein’s instincts about reality. By stripping classic thought ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

It may sound like an oxymoron, but this massive nanoparticle made up of 7,000 sodium atoms is the largest to exhibit such ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American This was supposed to be an action-packed ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...

Killing horizon: a thought experiment suggests that the presence of a black hole can decohere a quantum superposition. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Rost9) A new thought experiment suggests that the mere ...

A new experiment could in principle test the quantumness of an object regardless of its mass or energy. An experiment outlined by a UCL (University College London)-led team of scientists from the UK ...
