The world’s best clocks may be sensitive to an odd mix of quantum and relativistic effects that would stretch time and test ...

Nature has many rhythms: the seasons result from Earth's movement around the sun, the ticking of a pendulum clock results ...

Physicists have unveiled a new type of time crystal that is governed by quantum behavior that conflicts with classical models ...

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

Amid high expectations for quantum technology, a new paper in Science reports a proven quantum advantage. In an experiment, ...

Researchers find that a photon can spend a negative amount of time in an excited atomic state while passing through a cloud ...

This article explores how our understanding of the universe has evolved—from the scale of everyday experience down to the ...

He added that the team learned the behaviour of their system in 15 minutes. A comparable classical method would take around 20 million years. The experiment took place in the basement labs at DTU ...

Physicists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology were able to observe ...
