Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...

Quantum theory – our best understanding of the world at the smallest level – is famously weird and notoriously confusing. It’s a theory that seems to say particles can be in two places at once, or ...

For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Max Born made many contributions to quantum theory. This said, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1954 for ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

A century-old debate ends as physicists prove Einstein wrong using single photons to test quantum theory with unprecedented ...

In the deadly game Russian roulette, a player loads a gun with a single bullet, spins the cylinder to randomize the bullet’s position, and turns the potentially lethal weapon on their own self. But in ...
