Playing with a simple bean machine illustrates how deterministic laws can produce probabilistic, random-seeming behavior.
There are many different ways to think about probability. Quantum mechanics embodies them all.
A new look at a ubiquitous phenomenon has uncovered unexpected fractal behavior that could give us clues about the early universe and the arrow of time.
Experimenters in Germany have glimpsed the kind of strange, non-atomic matter thought to fill the cores of merging neutron stars.
Three experiments have vetted quantum Darwinism, a theory that explains how quantum possibilities can give rise to objective, classical reality.
A recent test has confirmed the predictions of quantum trajectory theory.
An experiment caught a quantum system in the middle of a jump — something the originators of quantum mechanics assumed was impossible.
In the late 1940s, Richard Feynman invented a visual tool for simplifying particle calculations that forever changed theoretical physics.
The stunning emergence of a new type of superconductivity with the mere twist of a carbon sheet has left physicists giddy, and its discoverer nearly overwhelmed.
