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, ...
The new research demonstrates for the first time that the wave nature of matter persists even at large scales, using massive ...
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 ...
Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.
For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.
Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...
A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, forcing a rethink on ...
