Electrons are influenced by a magnetic field display known as the quantum Hall effect (QHE), which helps scientists make hyper-accurate measurements. Now, scientists have observed a similar behavior ...

What if you woke up tomorrow and realized that who you have become isn’t only the result of your habits and intentions, but also of how closely you observed yourself today? Psychology explains that ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science. Reading time 6 minutes The use of the word “quantum” has become ...

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from an alternating signal. But the direction of that “street” is not fixed.

A single trapped atom has been used to carry out Einstein’s proposed test of the double-slit experiment, a challenge he believed could expose a flaw in quantum mechanics by measuring its recoil The ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a manuscript for publication. Its centerpiece was an innocuous-looking equation ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel have demonstrated how quantum mechanical entanglement can be used to measure several physical parameters simultaneously with ...

The observer effect is often explained as consciousness shaping reality, but that idea is wrong. This video breaks down where that myth came from and why it stuck. The real explanation is far stranger ...
