Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of ...

“Here, it turns out there are other quantum knobs we can play with to manipulate states of matter.” ...

Have you ever doubted your knowledge or expertise? Noticed, if you’re a woman, that you receive less recognition than your male colleagues do, that your ideas were unheard in a discussion until they ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means is up for interpretation. Suppose you want to empty a box. Really, truly ...

A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton collisions. It would seem that particles here have significantly more ...

Despite its simplicity, the model is foundational. It is often the first non-trivial system for which students solve the Schrödinger equation exactly, and it beautifully illustrates core quantum ideas ...

An NV center consists of a nitrogen atom replacing a carbon atom and an adjacent vacancy where a carbon atom is missing. "The NV center defect has a few properties, one of which is a degree of freedom ...
