This discovery is huge. Researchers achieve major breakthrough in the quest for limitless energy: 'Their work has advanced ...

In 1900, German theoretical physicist Max Planck accidentally gave birth to the field of quantum mechanics (aka quantum physics) when he tried to investigate why the results of his black body ...

Researchers have shown how energy disappears in quantum turbulence, paving the way for a better understanding of turbulence in scales ranging from the microscopic to the planetary. The team's findings ...

Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and ...

There are two theories that have essentially revolutionized our understanding of physics in the 20th century—quantum mechanics and general relativity. Quantum mechanics attempts to explain the ...

The topic of electricity often poses difficulties for many secondary school students in physics lessons. Researchers have now developed and empirically evaluated a new, intuitive curriculum as part of ...

Karen Hallberg is an expert in quantum condensed matter physics, the study of the structure and behaviour of matter, who has developed cutting-edge computational approaches that allow scientists to ...

Rub a balloon on your hair and the balloon typically picks up a negative electric charge, while your hair goes positive. But a new study shows that the charge an object picks up can depend on its ...
