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 ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

Physicists describe the microscopic world using a weird theory called quantum mechanics. The year 2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, celebrating the 100th anniversary of ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Their experiment, part of the SWEET project, used sucrose crystals cooled to near absolute zero to try and detect interactions with low-mass dark matter particles. While no such particles were found, ...
