Imagine using your cellphone to control the activity of your own cells to treat injuries and disease. It sounds like something from the imagination of an overly optimistic science fiction writer. But ...

The concept of ‘relativistic mass’ has been around almost as long as relativity has. But is it a reasonable way to make sense of things?

Hundreds of entangled atoms were involved.

Is mathematics woven into the very fabric of reality? Or is it merely a product of the human mind? The answer to this question matters.

Nature Human Behaviour - Academic publishing is the backbone of science dissemination –– but is the current system fit for purpose? We asked a diverse group of scientists to comment on...

A team led by Prof. Li Chuanfeng and Prof. Xu Jinshi from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), collaborating with Prof. Chen Jingling from ...

Scientists could see what those atoms got up to in the molecules they were placed in.

A new way of measuring quantum states.

A recent study from SISSA proposes a new model of non-local interaction between the dark matter of a galaxy and gravity. Isaac Newton described his theory of gravity as a force that acts instantaneously across space: a planet immediately senses the effects…

Physicists have used the famous particle smasher to investigate the strange phenomena of quantum entanglement at far higher energies than ever before

Ultrafast lasers and X-rays have revealed the coupling between electronic and nuclear dynamics in molecules. Nearly a century ago, physicists Max Born and J. Robert Oppenheimer developed a hypothesis about the functioning of quantum mechanics within molecules.…

An intriguing molecule could help scientists find a massive breakthrough in the search for a way to generate limitless energy.

Before epilepsy was understood to be a neurological condition, people believed it was caused by the moon, or by phlegm in the brain. They condemned seizures as evidence of witchcraft or demonic possession, ...

The quest to understand our physical universe may depend on investigating our own mind

<p><em>The idea that consciousness requires a self has been around since at least Descartes. But problems of infinite regress, neuroscientific studies, and psychedelic experiences point to a different reality. 'You' may not be what you seem to be, writes…

Researchers at Institut Néel-CNRS, University of Saint Louis and University of Rochester recently realized a two-qubit engine fueled by entanglement and local measurements. This engine's unique design, ...

Understanding the nature of quantum objects' behaviors is the premise for a reasonable denoscription of the quantum world. Depending on whether the interference can be produced or not, the quantum object ...

This might transform physics.

Human behavior is an enigma that fascinates many scientists. And there has been much discussion over the role of probability in explaining how our minds work.
