At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Studying twisted double-bilayer chromium triiodide (CrI₃) with scanning nitrogen–vacancy magnetometry, the authors directly image magnetic fields with nanoscale resolution and observe long-range ...

Non-terrestrial networks have their own challenges that cellular networks didn't have. Will AI help solve them dynamically?

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a ...

Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist ...

EPFL physicists have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the material. "The concept of time has troubled philosophers and physicists for ...

It may sound like an oxymoron, but this massive nanoparticle made up of 7,000 sodium atoms is the largest to exhibit such ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...
