Researchers at HSE University and the Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis of the Russian Academy of Sciences have discovered ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their ...

Such molecules would be suited to acting as quantum bits, or qubits, the basic unit of information in quantum systems. But ...

Math and computer science researchers have long known that some questions are fundamentally unanswerable. Now physicists are exploring how physical systems put hard limits on what we can predict.

A stand-out example of quantum weirdness is turning out to be surprisingly useful, as Margaret Harris explains ...

Researchers have developed a new tool for measuring velocities in a Bose-Einstein condensate superfluid and applied it to studying superfluid turbulence.

For example, it takes almost two minutes for an excited oxygen atom to emit a red photon, and if one atom collides with another during that time, the process may be interrupted or terminated.
