Scientists have uncovered a previously unthinkable state of matter that challenges decades of assumptions ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

As we journey from Newton's laws of gravity to Einstein's groundbreaking theory of relativity, and delve into the enigmatic ...

Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

Researchers at Tampere University and their collaborators from Germany and India have experimentally confirmed that angular momentum is conserved when a single photon is converted into a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum ...

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

Quantum technologies could transform society—but their national and economic security implications also bring complex legal hurdles. To help innovators navigate those challenges, the Chicago Quantum ...
