The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the cosmos. It's also the source of one of the most enduring and confounding ...

An international research team around Marcus Sperling, a researcher at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna, has sparked interest in the scientific community with pioneering results in quantum ...

In the race to uncover the deepest secrets of the universe, researchers are turning to powerful new tools. One of the most promising tools is the quantum computer. It offers a way to explore problems ...

Modern physics has been shaped by great minds, yet somehow physics hasn’t explained what the mind is. For decades consciousness was not a respectable area of inquiry in physics, yet the great quantum ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Entanglement is one of the most valuable resources in the quantum realm – for instance, it is the powerhouse behind quantum encryption – and in theory, it may be possible to extract an infinite amount ...

Quantum mechanics has revealed that magnetic fields exert profound influences on microscopic systems, modulating quantum states and facilitating emergent phenomena with global technological potential.

A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept of quantum gravity does not exist. The idea comes from two London-based ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed vacuum (BSV), can drive strong-field photoemission at metal needle tips.
