Typically, adding energy to a system makes it hotter. But last year, scientists demonstrated that quantum systems don’t ...

A joint theoretical study by the University of Innsbruck and Zhejiang University has uncovered the microscopic origin of a ...

In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

A tiny silica bead, just 100 nanometers across, sits suspended in a vacuum and vibrates under the grip of laser light. Those ...

As long as there's been an internet, there's been a way to hack it. Scientists have spent decades imagining a different kind ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades ...

A method that relies on hitting materials with neutrons can measure how much quantum entanglement hides within them, which ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider have observed particles emerging directly from empty ...

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key ...
