Dark matter is an elusive form of matter that almost never emits, absorbs or reflects light, while only weakly interacting with regular matter. These properties make it very difficult to detect using ...
Electron spin may subtly break the symmetry between mirror-image molecules, helping explain why biology chose one molecular ...
Scientists propose a new atomic clock experiment that could reveal whether time itself follows the strange rules of quantum ...
The Perspective highlights quantum dots, spin-polarized materials, topological states, and genetically encoded quantum ...
Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps ...
A single strontium ion, suspended in an electromagnetic trap at the University of Oxford, has done something no physical ...
Experiments hint that quantum mechanisms are vital to the machinery of life. Now researchers are exploring if these effects ...
Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of quantum mechanical effects, they succeeded for the first time in performing ...
Molecular coatings can slow or accelerate photon emission from near-infrared quantum dots, adding a new control handle for ...
