Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...

That obscuring of women’s contributions was common in the history of quantum mechanics, the theory that describes the physics of atoms and other small-scale phenomena. As scientists mark 100 ...

Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the ...

Even after a century, quantum science retains the capacity to mystify. Some of the critical aspects of the new physics were adumbrated by the Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton.

A team of physics educators is focusing on a new approach to teaching quantum physics in schools. Traditional classroom teaching has tended to focus on presenting the history of the origins of ...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic alteration that results in 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) through the addition of a methyl group to the fifth carbon of a cytosine (C) residue. The methylation level, the ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the bizarre behaviour of tiny particles at the quantum level with the elegant, predictable curves of space and time described by general relativity.
