Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

A new breakthrough may help scientists solve some of the mysteries of the quantum realm. For the first time, physicists have been able to measure the geometrical 'shape' a lone electron adopts as it ...

Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.
