Philip Ball looks at how a little-known paper by Niels Bohr demonstrates the turmoil in physics on the brink of quantum ...

A new perspective on the universe could emerge if superluminal observers, those who theoretically move faster than light, ...

The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, ...

Physicists have verified a connection between two counterintuitive quantum properties, which may help us understand how ...

A new theoretical approach is proposed to explain the nature of the well-known narrow and intense optical J-band of ...

This mysterious light, which he called "mitogenetic ... radiation he described might be explained using quantum resonance theory. Using resonance concepts from quantum mechanics, I've connected ...

They also looked to extend their theories to encompass objects that move at close to light speed, something that the original quantum theory did not. These efforts drastically expanded the scope ...

Experiments and theory also tackle the fundamental chemical physics ... where novel atomic and molecular materials are prepared in the quantum regime. We also control light fields that include both ...

In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was in Denmark working at Niels Bohr's research institute in Copenhagen. The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the ...

The difficulty – and, for physicists, the fun – starts here. To begin with, there’s no single quantum theory. There’s quantum mechanics, the basic mathematical framework that underpins it ...
