At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Everyone has their favourite example of a trick that reliably gets a certain job done, even if they don’t really understand why. Back in the day, it might have been slapping the top of your television ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

The big thinkers at Aperture explain quantum mechanics and the uncertainties at the heart of physics.

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest and most fascinating phenomena in physics. Even Einstein didn’t believe it - he called it “spooky action at a distance” - but science has proven it true.
