Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

You might say it all started with a spot of hay fever. In June 1925, a young physicist named Werner Heisenberg retreated to the barren island of Helgoland in the North Sea, seeking respite from his ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Alex May, whose research explores the intersection of quantum ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how atoms ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

World’s Fastest Electron Microscope, Quantum Consciousness and the Origin of Life Host Erika Hamden explores quantum mysteries. We visit a University of Arizona lab where the world’s fastest electron ...
