Researchers have shown that abstract mathematical functions from the frontiers of theoretical physics have a real-world use ...

In the quantum world, observing a particle is not a passive act. If you shine light on a quantum object to measure its position, photons scatter off it and disturb its motion. This disturbance is ...

MIT scientists have snapped the first-ever images of individual atoms interacting freely in space, making visible the elusive ...

A Princeton team uncovered a surprising chiral quantum state in a supposedly non-chiral material, shedding light on elusive ...

When Way Kuo, a senior fellow at the Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study, claimed in a working paper appearing in the SSRN Electronic Journal that his team had “devised a way to accurately and ...

Chirality—the property of an object that is distinct from its mirror image—has long captivated scientists across biology, ...

Physicists have used a novel technique to observe individual atoms interacting in free space for the first time ever. The new ...

Under ultracold conditions, bosons form a curious state of matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), in which all the ...

Researchers captured the first-ever images of atoms freely interacting in space, offering a rare glimpse into quantum ...
