False vacuum decay model shows why our universe may be living on borrowed time In a nutshell Scientists used a 5,564-qubit ...

Physicists have performed a simulation they say sheds new light on an elusive phenomenon that could determine the ultimate ...

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

On Satyendra Nath Bose's death anniversary, we revisit how Einstein’s intervention saved his rejected paper, leading to ...

The universe is getting more disordered, entropy is growing -- this is the second law of thermodynamics. But according to quantum theory, entropy should actually stay the same. Scientists took a ...

A search for particles’ most paradoxical quantum states led researchers to construct a 37-dimensional experiment ...

In quantum physics, subatomic particles behave strangely—they can be in two places simultaneously, move through solid objects ...

A paradox at the heart of quantum physics has been tested in an extraordinary fashion, pushing the boundaries of human ...

The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found ...

Entropy always increases, but in quantum systems, traditional entropy measures seem constant. TU Wien researchers resolved this paradox by considering Shannon entropy, which accounts for the ...

New research shows that the second law of thermodynamics, which states entropy increases over time, also applies to closed ...

The quantum revolution is advancing technology, and new experimental equipment from the University of Barcelona helps ...
