In 1927, Oppenheimer published a paper called “On the Quantum Theory of Molecules” with his research adviser Max Born. This paper outlined what is commonly referred to as the Born-Oppenheimer ...

Physicists are quietly rewriting the rulebook for how we might cross the gulf between stars, not by bolting bigger rockets to ...

In a scientific breakthrough, an international research team has developed a quantum sensor capable of detecting minute magnetic fields at the atomic length scale. This pioneering work realizes a long ...

(Nanowerk News) In a scientific breakthrough, an international research team from Germany's Forschungszentrum Jülich and Korea's IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) developed a quantum sensor ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...

A comparative illustration of the performance between a conventional STM image (left) and an image obtained with the developed quantum sensor (right). When observing atoms with a conventional STM, ...

Physicists have identified a new superfluid phase in a class of quantum systems that, until recently, looked too unstable and ...

One hundred years ago, physicists including Max Born, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schrödinger theorized the foundations of quantum mechanics, unlocking atomic and subatomic secrets, ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.
