In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...

An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference ...

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum ...

For decades, theoretical physics has struggled to reconcile General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. The primary obstacle is the assumption that spacetime is a smooth, continuous fabric, which leads ...

Reservoir computing is a promising machine learning-based approach for the analysis of data that changes over time, such as ...

Quantonation Ventures, a venture firm investing in quantum and physics-based startups, has closed its oversubscribed second ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

In this video, we explore the concept of symmetry, regarded as the root of physics. We delve into the significance of symmetry and its connection to group theory, particularly Noether's Theorem, which ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...
