Physicists in California have observed true quantum behaviour in a macroscopic object big enough to be seen with the naked eye. This is the first time this feat has been achieved and it could shed ...

Humans can ‘feel’ hidden objects under sand from 2.76 inches away, revealing the surprising power of remote touch.

It’s been demonstrated since the 1500s that, when falling toward a certain body, objects fall at the same rate. Everyone from Galileo in Pisa to David Scott on the moon demonstrated that. But what if ...

A quantum property associated with tiny objects has been found to persist in an experiment with more than a thousand atoms. This could help us understand where the boundary between the quantum world ...

Introduction Have you ever studied an everyday object through a magnifying glass—and been amazed at what you could see? Or have you ever noticed, for example in a swimming pool, that an object that is ...

Invisibility cloaks are making a splash. Or rather, preventing splashes, perhaps. Although the science fiction idea of an invisibility cloak is a Harry Potter–style device that makes objects invisible ...
