Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they created dramatic shockwaves ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025 honors scaled-up quantum physics—while sidestepping controversies swirling around quantum computing ...

On Tuesday the field of quantum mechanics received a thoughtful 100th-birthday present from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences: three shiny new medals, 11 million Swedish kronor (to be divided ...

New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange themselves into orderly, but nonrepeating, patterns.

Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise measurements in particle physics.

Nobel Prize winners show how superconducting circuits can exhibit quantum behavior, leading to transformative technologies.

The discovery could significantly reduce the production costs of fuels, chemicals, and materials. A research team from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and ...

Discover the groundbreaking work of John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis in the field of quantum physics. Learn how they built real-world circuits that behave like quantum beings and ...

John Clarke, John Martinis and Michel H. Devoret will share this year’s physics Nobel for their discovery in the mid-1980s ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That’s normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...

Gold truly deserves to be called a precious metal. Now, scientists have found a way to extract gold from e-waste using bacteria.
