At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Physicists have revealed a quantum state once thought impossible, where topology emerges even without particle-like electrons ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Now, in a new study published in the journal Nature ...

A collaboration between Stuart Parkin's group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and ...

Tiny 3D-printed “light cages” are giving researchers a new way to catch and hold individual particles of light on a chip, a ...

A new proposal makes the case that paraparticles — a new category of quantum particle — could be created in exotic materials. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Earth’s rotation has been measured many times over — but never like this. In a first, scientists used entangled quantum particles called photons to reveal the rate at which the globe spins. The feat ...
