Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss ...

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

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose. This process powers ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

What if you could create new materials just by shining a light at them? To most, this sounds like science fiction or alchemy, ...
