Chirality—the property of an object that is distinct from its mirror image—has long captivated scientists across biology, ...

Physicists have used a novel technique to observe individual atoms interacting in free space for the first time ever. The new ...

Quantum technology could solve complex problems we can't yet fathom. Learn how the state of Maryland is becoming the capital ...

To do this, they introduced a novel mathematical object they call the space-time dimension field. This field acts as a kind ...

Gravity is everywhere: pulling at your feet, holding satellites in orbit, and making the Earth spin around the sun. Yet, for ...

His serendipitous original foray into optics research would help advance the fields of quantum optics and optical physics.

In the quest toward finding the correct theory of quantum gravity, physicists have been testing the holographic principle which, they say, is a key property of any valid theory of quantum gravity.

A way to greatly enhance the efficiency of a method for correcting errors in quantum computers has been realized by theoretical physicists at RIKEN. This advance could help to develop larger, more ...

Physicists captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space. The pictures reveal correlations among the 'free-range' particles that until now were predicted but never directly ...

MIT physicists have pioneered the first direct imagery of individual atoms interacting in space, revealing quantum ...

That is, until now. In a groundbreaking scientific experiment, a team at Northwestern University’s McCormick School of ...

A Princeton team uncovered a surprising chiral quantum state in a supposedly non-chiral material, shedding light on elusive ...
