Noise is annoying, whether you're trying to sleep or exploit the laws of quantum physics. Although noise from environmental ...

Electrons in graphene can act like a perfect fluid, defying established physical laws. This finding advances both fundamental ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An image of a black hole surrounded by matter. Does the secret of quantum gravity lie around ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, ...

Kai Sun of the University of Michigan is a humble physics professor with ambitious goals. "I'm mainly a paper-and-pencil type of theorist, doing analytical calculations mostly," Sun said. "My ...

ETH Zurich researchers levitated a nano glass sphere cluster with record-setting quantum purity at room temperature, avoiding costly cooling. Using optical tweezers, they isolated quantum zero-point ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Caltech president and pioneering physicist Thomas Rosenbaum, an expert in the promising field of quantum physics, will join Purdue University President Mung Chiang in April for ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
