In a supercooled lab setting, a tiny crystal has quietly flipped a half-century-old assumption on its head. Scientists at Rice University have reported the first direct observation of a long-predicted ...

Did you know that China has invested over $15 billion in quantum computing research? This staggering figure highlights the intense global competition to lead in this groundbreaking technology. Quantum ...

In the quantum world, molecules are always on the move. And for the first time ever, scientists have directly captured these tiny quantum dances in action—and they did so by blowing them up real good.

ETH Zurich scientists have levitated a tower of three nano glass spheres using optical tweezers, suppressing almost all classical motion to observe quantum zero-point fluctuations with unprecedented ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a long-predicted phenomenon at the crossroads of relativity and quantum theory. Their ...

HOUSTON – (June 17, 2025) – Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations — virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with ...

The achievement paves the way for understanding the transition between a particle's classical and quantum behavior. (Nanowerk News) Researchers Mitsuyoshi Kamba, Naoki Hara, and Kiyotaka Aikawa of the ...

Diamond-based quantum sensors expose magnetic fluctuations beyond current instruments, offering insight into graphene and superconductors used in MRI and future tech. (Nanowerk News) In spaces smaller ...

A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the center of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light scattered by the ...
