Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

Earth’s radiation can send some molecules spinning or vibrating, which is what makes them greenhouse gases. This infographic explains how relatively few heat-trapping molecules can have a planetary ...

The quantum internet aims to utilize principles of quantum mechanics (such as quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation) ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Catalysts are indispensable for the large-scale production of many chemicals, as they accelerate chemical reactions. Some of ...

Rather than choosing between the two, a layered “defense-in-depth” strategy is rapidly becoming the gold standard. Combining ...

PsiQuantum Inc., a well-funded quantum computing startup, said today it has raised $1 billion in late-stage funding to ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a long-predicted phenomenon at the crossroads of relativity and quantum theory. Their ...
