For over a century, the Maxwell’s Demon paradox has haunted physics. This thought experiment suggests that a tiny, ...

Entanglement -- linking distant particles or groups of particles so that one cannot be described without the other -- is at the core of the quantum revolution changing the face of modern technology.

At first glance, however, quantum physics does not really seem to adhere to this rule: Mathematically speaking, entropy in ...

New quantum computing research reveals that black holes may not have chaotic singularities but structured quantum states, ...

From unifying quantum physics and gravity to working out what is dark matter, the universe has some deep questions that ...

Philip Ball looks at how a little-known paper by Niels Bohr demonstrates the turmoil in physics on the brink of quantum ...

What exists at the core of a black hole? A research team led by Enrico Rinaldi, a physicist at the University of Michigan, ...

This strange fact flies in the face of classical physics, and even led Albert Einstein to famously describe this quantum quirk as “spooky action at a distance.” This is what is known as “qua ...

Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

“Eventually we figured out that this oscillation is a sign of a special type of excitation mode similar to the Higgs mode in high-energy physics. This is something we did not anticipate…That’s an ...
