If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

Physicists have taken quantum strangeness to an extraordinary new level by measuring light across 37 dimensions. Their groundbreaking experiment pushes quantum mechanics beyond classical expectations, ...

If spacetime is classical, it should undergo random fluctuations, which could in turn change the mass of objects by tiny amounts over time. One experiment the team suggests is that measuring an object ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

Reseachers observed sodium atoms breaking up into crystal particles that resemble tornado-like structures after entering a quantum state. Mukherjee et al, Nature, 2022 MIT researchers have now ...

Where do you see patterns in chaos? It has been proven, in the incredibly tiny quantum realm, by an international team co-led by UC Santa Cruz physicist Jairo Velasco, Jr. In a new paper published on ...

Quantum mechanics has a way of sounding like pure philosophy until an experiment forces it into everyday language. In 2025, ...

Almost a century after the legendary debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, a team led by Jian-Wei Pan from the University of Science and Technology of China has brought the famous ...
