Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

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 ...

In the fractional quantum Hall effect, electrons in a strong magnetic field organize into collective states. Such states behave as quasiparticles, known as anyons, that carry a fraction of the ...

The electrons that power our society flow left and right through the circuitry in our electronics, back and forth along the ...

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 ...

Physicists found electrons synchronizing in star-shaped Kagome crystals, showing geometry can tune quantum behavior and shape material function. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the Max Planck Institute ...

Two of the forefathers of quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, had a famous argument over whether light is a wave ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a traditional clock. Instead of ticking gears or oscillating crystals, they read ...
