If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

In classical physics, anything driven hard enough will eventually heat up, lose coherence, and settle into disorder. A new ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

If spacetime is classical, it should undergo random fluctuations, which could in turn change the mass of objects by tiny amounts over time. One experiment the team suggests is that measuring an object ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...
