A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

In quantum physics, objects can exist in multiple states at the same time—a phenomenon known as quantum superposition, where ...

You can say the universe has a split personality. Or better said, our physical models of the universe are the ones fractured.

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

Quantum physicists at the Australian National University (ANU) have achieved a major milestone by directly observing atoms ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

Jeff Bezos’ rocket company gave NASA a brief taste of the moon’s gravity Tuesday, without straying too far from home. Blue Origin launched the 29 lunar technology experiments to the edge of space from ...
