A new theoretical framework shows how subtle fluctuations in spacetime could be detected using existing interferometers.

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

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 ...

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