For their latest magic trick, physicists have done the quantum equivalent of conjuring energy out of thin air. It’s a feat that seems to fly in the face of physical law and common sense. “You can’t ...

Scientists have created the first real-time 3D simulations of how lasers alter the quantum vacuum. Using cutting-edge computational modeling, scientists from the University of Oxford, in collaboration ...

Harvesting energy using quantum computing might sound futuristic, but researchers at Purdue University in the US have turned ...

Energy teleportation sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but now, research shows that you can actually pull energy from nothing. “This really does test it,” Seth Lloyd, a quantum physicist at ...

The vacuum of space is a chaotic sea of quantum fluctuations. Some have said that this vacuum energy can be harvested to build our future starship engines. It can't. But it is technically possible to ...
