A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by several telescopes. This approach, known as long-baseline interferometry, ...

Purdue University has appointed Michael Manfra as its chief quantum officer, overseeing quantum initiatives and new degree ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

A strand of hair cuts across a laser beam, creating interference fringes on the wall of a science museum in New York City. High-school students use the spacing between bands to calculate the hair’s ...

A physicist proposes that consciousness is the fundamental basis of reality, with matter and spacetime emerging from it.

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...

The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) aims to expand public understanding of quantum technologies, including their transformative potential. For our broad readership, could ...

For centuries, the concept of consciousness has intrigued philosophers and scientists alike. Often deemed too abstract for scientific exploration, consciousness has been largely left to philosophical ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...
