NASA’s Orbiting Quantum Lab Pushes Deeper Into the Unknown
NASA’s upgraded Cold Atom Lab is back in action aboard the International Space Station, where it uses the…
Time may be an illusion derived from quantum entanglement
Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker…
Scientists Recreate a Quantum Mystery in a Water Tank – and Discover Something Completely New
OIST PhD student Aditya Singh generates and observes surface waves that act as a classical analogue to quantum…
Scientists show quantum mechanics can work without imaginary numbers
A new analysis conducted by researchers at the Heinrich Heine University (HHU) Düsseldorf and the German Aerospace Center…
Can Time Flow in Reverse? A Quantum Breakthrough Challenges Our Assumptions
Scientists have developed quantum control techniques that can suppress or even reverse a quantum system’s perceived arrow of…
What if Time Isn’t Fundamental? Physicists Just Tested the Idea in the Lab
A new quantum experiment suggests that time may emerge from the internal dynamics of a system rather than…
Schrödinger’s anthill: Quantum entanglement detected inside a centimeter-sized strange metal
A strange metal can fit in your hand, yet still behave in ways that seem to belong to…
How Flocking Birds “Defy” One of Physics’ Most Fundamental Laws
Flocks of birds, bacteria and tissue cells: in some collective systems, the individual elements respond to only part…
‘A mixture from zero to infinity’: Physicists tried splitting a photon — and ended up with an improbable swarm of particles
