Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces ...

Abstract: Black holes are often portrayed as cosmic vacuum cleaners that swallow everything, even light. In reality, they are far richer and more revealing: each black hole is a natural laboratory ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” ...

By employing familiar concepts from quantum information, Bianconi’s model bridges the gap between classical physics and quantum theories without needing entirely new mathematics.

Quantum computers in space could be useful for communications networks or for testing fundamental physics.

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.

Scientists in Japan have uncovered a strange new behavior in “heavy” electrons — particles that act as if they carry far more ...

For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a picture of our reality – or even whether that is possible ...

A new book on quantum physics is pleasingly full of cutting-edge topics. Yet it isn't the accessible work it promised to be ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics ...
