In an election, how can you make sure that everyone's votes are counted but also kept entirely secret? Quantum mechanics may ...

Astronomers studying one of the most magnetic objects in the universe have found some of the strongest evidence yet for a bizarre effect predicted by quantum physics nearly 90 years ago. The finding ...

Imagine shining a flashlight across a dark room. You can predict exactly what the light will do: travel in a straight line from one point to another. That seems obvious, because in the world we see ...

BENGALURU: Science Gallery Bengaluru’s (SGB) new annual exhibition season, QUANTUM, which explores the complexities of ...

Heat flows from hot objects to cold objects – or does it? Although unidirectional heat flow is a natural consequence of the ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. John Clarke, Michel H Devoret and John M. Martinis are announced this year's Nobel Prize winners in Physics, by the Royal Swedish ...

Astronomers may have just confirmed one of the quirkiest aspects of quantum mechanics: that seemingly empty space can alter the behavior of light. This phenomenon, called "vacuum birefringence," was ...

Astrophysicist Paul Sutter explains Quantum Mechanics - the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of photons, electrons and the other particles that make up the universe.

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone of technologies that shape our lives, from lasers and microchips to quantum ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Scientists have proposed a new test to hopefully help shed some light on quantum ...

A physicist challenges the core idea of quantum mechanics, that events are truly random. He says a hidden framework of rules may influence outcomes. That’s because our current math makes quantum ...
