Latest about quantum physics
Scientists made the coldest large molecule on record — and it has a super strange chemical bond
A four-atom molecule has broken the record for coldest large molecule.
CERN proposes $17 billion particle smasher that would be 3 times bigger than the Large Hadron Collider
CERN's proposed $17 billion particle collider would search for new and unknown physics, but it has drawn fire for its hefty price tag.
Cosmic strings can break — and when they do, they shake the universe
Many models of the universe predict the existence of countless invisible strings stretching across space. New research finds a way these strings might snap — and how we could feel the fallout.
Hubble Telescope captures a galaxy's 'forbidden' light in stunning new image
The Hubble Telescope viewed a distant galaxy whose light appears to contradict some of the most common rules of quantum physics.
World's largest gravitational wave observatory squeezes light beyond the 'quantum limit'
Researchers at the LIGO gravitational wave observatory used a new technique called frequency-dependent squeezing to boost weak signals above quantum noise.
Quantum 'yin-yang' shows two photons being entangled in real-time
The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers.
'The most magical equation in physics': How Paul Dirac accidentally revealed the strange world of antimatter
In this extract from the book 'The One Thing You Need to Know', author Marcus Chown explains how the Dirac Equation came to be.
There may have been a second Big Bang, new research suggests
Within a month of the Big Bang, a second cosmic explosion may have given the universe its invisible dark matter, new research suggests.
