When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

For more than 60 years, Bell's theorem has been the gold standard for demonstrating that quantum mechanics defies the rules ...

Electron spin may subtly break the symmetry between mirror-image molecules, helping explain why biology chose one molecular ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of science is under construction that centres conscious experience – and might ...

The latest "Google Doodle" to adorn the Google search engine home page is celebrating achievements in quantum physics - and aiming to spread interest in the field. Google's Doodle webpage explains ...

You might have heard of quantum physics in science class or from Iron Man in a Marvel movie. Well, quantum physics has its own day of recognition. Every April 14, scientists, students, and curious ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...
