An international team of physicists has successfully created an exotic new phase of quantum matter known as a "fractional ...

First formulated in 1935, the famous thought experiment attempts to explain the weirdness of quantum superposition, but a new ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists on Tuesday for discovering that a bizarre barrier-defying phenomenon in the quantum realm could be observed on an electrical circuit in our ...

A ball tossed into the air follows a path that classical physics can track with confidence. Shrink that ball down to the size of an atom, though, and the rules usually change. At that scale, particles ...

One of the most surprising predictions of physics is entanglement, a phenomenon where objects can be some distance apart but still linked together. The best-known examples of entanglement involve tiny ...

For more than seven years, scientists at the University of Michigan have explored the strange quantum oscillations of the Kondo insulator ytterbium boride (YbB 12). In 2018, the team discovered that ...
