Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

Laurent Simons became one of the world’s youngest PhD recipients in November, earning a doctorate in quantum physics from the ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

Here are three discoveries from quantum physics that quietly changed how we understand the power of the mind, not in mystical language, but in ways that still make scientists uncomfortable. Scroll ...
