This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Alex May, whose research explores the intersection of quantum ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

Most school science lessons start with particles and forces. Matter comes first. Atoms build molecules, molecules build cells, cells build brains, and only then, when a nervous system becomes ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

The curious minds at ColdFusion explain quantum computers in simple terms. This matters because understanding these complex machines shows their potential to revolutionize industries, science, and ...

I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...

If you are anything like me, you are almost always charging your smartphone. What you might not realise is that the ability to do so safely depends on a delicate quantum measurement at the cutting ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum mechanics to infinitely intricate mathematical structures. Hofstadter was ...

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...
