Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.

What if time is not as fixed as we thought? Imagine that instead of flowing in one direction -- from past to future -- time could flow forward or backward due to processes taking place at the quantum ...

Plants harness quantum physics to capture solar energy with near-perfect efficiency. Scientists are now exploring how to ...

Back in the day, it might have been slapping the top of your television set when the picture ... on again. Quantum mechanics — the most successful and important theory in modern physics ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained by Albert Einstein in 1905, laid the foundation for quantum mechanics. It occurs when high-energy light strikes atoms, releasing electrons. This phenomenon is ...

For over a century, the Maxwell’s Demon paradox has haunted physics. This thought experiment suggests that a tiny, ...

In the process, their experiment included photons in 37 dimensions, taking science even further down this strange quantum ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have ...

Feb. 5, 2025 — Quantum spin liquids are fascinating states of matter where magnetic spins stay disordered, defying the usual rules of magnetism. Scientists have made an exciting discovery about ...

Entanglement is perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of quantum mechanics ... scientists has solved a long-standing problem in thermal imaging, making it possible to capture clear images ...
