Could global positioning systems become more precise and provide more accurate details on distances for users to get from ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.

For more than 50 years, scientists have dreamed of seeing the hidden patterns that govern the motion of nonlinear waves—the ...

A team of researchers from TU Wien has shed new light on the behavior of electrons fleeing a solid material. Their research ...

While this may complicate the quest for a clear experimental signature of quantum gravity, it does not render such tests useless. According to the research team, both classical and quantum models of ...

The NSF awarded BC physics researchers Qiong Ma and Fazel Tafti a $1 million grant to study a new class of quantum materials ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Though the principle is not violated, a new way of fudging its restrictions could lead to improvements in ultra-precise ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft glow, known as fluorescence, is a familiar effect. But when many tryptophan ...
