Study Identifies Systematic Instabilities in Quasar Dipole Measurements. New Analysis Challenges "Lopsided Universe" ...

Atomic gravimeters are used to accurately measure gravity by detecting the quantum interference patterns of freely falling atoms in a vacuum. However, these devices are typically bulky and complex, ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

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

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

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 ...

Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist thanks to new research led by physicists at École Polytechnique Fédérale ...

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.

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 ...

The particles have roughly half the diameter of the average virus, but being dense metallic spheres, they are more massive than most proteins in our body. The experimental setup was designed to test ...
