Satyendra Nath Bose was an Indian physicist whose groundbreaking work transformed quantum physics. In 1924, he sent a paper ...

Physicists have discovered a strange new state of quantum matter in which ultracold atoms defy familiar organizational rules, forming a highly excited yet surprisingly orderly configuration called a ...

The ATLAS collaboration found strong evidence that Z bosons produced in Higgs boson decays are quantum-entangled, extending ...

Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

A hypothetical particle could have briefly held more energy than everything else in the infant universe combined.

This article predates Brown Brothers Media’s ownership of Science Blog and has not been reviewed under our current editorial process. It is preserved as part of the publication’s archive. A new study ...

Ever since quantum mechanics first described particles, like electrons, as rippling waves, researchers have wondered if those ...

Physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1933. (National Digital Archives, Poland/Public Domain) For more than 80 years, a manuscript ...

Northwestern physicists created a one-positron quantum cyclotron, resolving individual changes in the antimatter particle’s ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...

In a study, physicists now observed a class of quantum particles called fractional excitons, which behave in unexpected ways and could significantly expand scientists' understanding of the quantum ...
