Scientists have always wondered whether ordinary materials are also secretly held together by quantum ...

The Big Bang refers to that gigantic explosion responsible for setting up the universe to grow into the world we observe ...

Other scientists have investigated the idea of a hidden structure further. David Bohm, a 20th-century physicist, built a ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...

A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published ...

Two of the forefathers of quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, had a famous argument over whether light is a wave ...

For decades, scientists have tried and failed to explain how the force that binds the heart of atoms together really works.

Noncommutative Quantum Field Theory represents an ambitious extension of standard quantum field theory that incorporates a fundamental noncommutativity in the structure of spacetime. In these models, ...
