In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect, where electrons are affected by a magnetic ...

Symmetry is one of the most fundamental principles in nature. It describes the rules that make an object look unchanged after ...

First experimental observation of matter-wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom using a graphene-based diffraction grating. (Nanowerk News) One of the discoveries that fundamentally ...

One of the defining breakthroughs that set quantum physics apart from classical physics was the realization that matter behaves very differently at ...

Explore 25 scientific discoveries that broke the laws of physics, from quantum entanglement to dark energy. Uncover ...

Scientists have created a powerful new way to control quantum systems, achieving the first-ever demonstration of ...

Lines of momentarily flat water extend outward and rotate, in the opposite direction to the flow of the vortex. The left video shows the pattern from the experiment, while the right video shows the ...

A new study reveals how a spinning vortex causes system-wide, counter-rotating wave patterns, mimicking effects that occur, but cannot be seen, in the quantum realm. (Nanowerk News) In the quirky, ...
