Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity.

When sand grains wedge together in a funnel, the whole column locks up. Something strikingly similar can happen to quantum ...

A method that relies on hitting materials with neutrons can measure how much quantum entanglement hides within them, which ...

Quantum physicists at the Australian National University (ANU) have achieved a major milestone by directly observing atoms ...

Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech, specializes in finely controlling single atoms using devices known as optical tweezers. He and his colleagues use the tweezers, made of laser light, to ...

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A visualization of how the ...

A tiny silica bead, just 100 nanometers across, sits suspended in a vacuum and vibrates under the grip of laser light. Those ...

As long as there's been an internet, there's been a way to hack it. Scientists have spent decades imagining a different kind ...

Quantum teleportation, once a staple of sci-fi lore, is now edging closer to scientific fact. What seemed impossible a decade ago is now happening in laboratories, thanks to rapid advances in quantum ...

A new experiment encodes quantum information in the motion of the atoms and creates a state known as hyper-entanglement, in which two or more traits are linked among a pair of atoms. Manuel Endres, ...
