A team of physicists has pulled off a visual trick that sounds like stage magic: they made a flash of light vanish inside a ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have long known that electrons are indivisible fundamental particles. Yet surprising new research shows that a weird feature of quantum mechanics can be used to produce ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

In a novel experiment, physicists have observed long range quantum coherence effects due to Aharonov-Bohm interference in a topological insulator-based device. This finding opens up a new realm of ...

IN 1924, Prince Louis de Broglie put forward the thesis that all material particles, and in particular electrons, have properties analogous to those of a train of waves. This view, which is now ...

Scientists have long known that electrons are indivisible fundamental particles. Yet surprising new research shows that a weird feature of quantum mechanics can be used to produce objects that behave ...
