A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now bridges ...

Two recent experimental advances are probing the foundations of quantum mechanics in unprecedented ways. Researchers have demonstrated novel methods to test Bell inequalities and search for ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

Patterns in chaos have been proven, in the incredibly tiny quantum realm, by an international team co-led by UC Santa Cruz physicist Jairo Velasco, Jr. In a new paper published on November 27 in ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

Picture a cat. I’m assuming you’re imagining a live one. It doesn’t matter. You’re wrong either way—but you’re also right. This is the premise of Erwin Schrödinger’s 1935 thought experiment to ...
