By ignoring part of his own experiment, a physicist coaxed time to emerge from within a closed quantum system.

Fraunhofer ILT in Aachen has developed a highly complex laser-optical system for a quantum computer currently under construction at the 5th Institute of Physics at the University of Stuttgart. This ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated the Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) effect with up to 12 ...

Phase transformations—in which a material changes from one crystal structure to another, thereby acquiring dramatically ...

A nuclear engineer reacts to MinutePhysics' explanation of atoms, exploring the science behind atomic structure, common ...

Illustration of cesium atoms entering an ordered state after being chilled to a few billionths of a degree above absolute ...

Scientists have engineered a never-before-seen quantum state, uncovering a new phase of matter with hidden order beyond conventional theory.

When atoms get close together (like, really close together) strange quantum effects can take place. A new study from MIT successfully placed two dysprosium atoms only 50 nanometers apart—10 times ...

Travis Kalanick has transformed City Storage Systems, the parent of CloudKitchens, to Atoms, adding a new focus on robotics. Kalanick made the announcement on the "TBPN" podcast, sharing that the ...

A couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...

When you eat food, drink liquids, or even breathe in the air, many of those atoms wind up getting incorporated to your body. When you sweat, exhale, and either secrete or excrete matter from your body ...
