I came across a neat video, via Jennifer Ouellette, where a couple of MIT students re-enact a classic physics textbook problem. It's a problem that I first heard over a decade ago, when I was in high ...

Scientists have finally performed a famous experiment described by physicist Richard Feynman that captures the mysterious quantum properties that allow electrons to behave like either waves or ...

In a classic physics experiment, scientists set up quantum entanglement between sunlight and light generated here on Earth. The researchers in China, the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom ...

"Think what we can do if we teach a quantum computer to do statistical mechanics," posed Michael McGuigan, a computational scientist with the Computational Science Initiative at the U.S. Department of ...
