Gravity is the force with which we’re most familiar. It’s what’s keeping you on the planet, even as you’re reading this.
In an iconic thought experiment, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger imagined a cat that could be dead or alive—a clever ...
Time feels familiar. It marks every moment of daily life, from the ticking of a wall clock to the changing numbers on a ...
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 ...
Oxford physicists have created an entirely new type of Schrödinger’s cat-like quantum state using components that are ...
In quantum physics, objects can exist in multiple states at the same time—a phenomenon known as quantum superposition, where a particle does not have a single definite value of position or momentum ...
Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity. Now a new theoretical study pushes that weirdness into even stranger territory. It ...
Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...
Many quantum effects can be observed only when a small number of particles is studied—individual atoms, molecules or photons, ...
Quantum entanglement: Scientists have detected quantum entanglement in a centimeter-sized crystal. This material, known as a ...
