EDITOR’S NOTE: Every year, hundreds of undergraduates at the University of Delaware dig into research under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Such experiences provided by UD — a nationally recognized ...

Jim Baggott is a science writer based in Cape Town, South Africa. He is co-author with John Heilbron of Quantum Drama. Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory, on which ...

Quantum chemistry is helping scientists understand why some chemical reactions succeed while others fail, by showing how the movement of electrons affects each step ...

In 1981, physicist Richard Feynman first theorized the creation of quantum computers that harnessed the principles of quantum physics to process calculations that would take standard computers ...

Forget the glorious successes of past breakthroughs—the real justification for research investment is what we get for our ...

More than two decades ago, scientists predicted that at ultra-low temperatures, many atoms could undergo 'quantum superchemistry' and chemically react as one. They've finally shown it's real. When you ...

Using a quantum device, researchers have observed, for the first time, a molecular process called conical intersection that is important in reactions such as photosynthesis. When you purchase through ...
