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

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Engineers have created a device that generates incredibly tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a microchip—and it could ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

Li-Fi is a wireless data system remarkably similar to Wi-Fi, but uses light to send information. Data rates can hit a gigabit a second, while maintaining line-of-sight privacy. pureLiFi is showing off ...

Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.

For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...
