Unless you're a physicist, you've probably only encountered quantum mechanics on TV.And even when it was explained, you might've still been a little confused.The field of quantum mechanics was ...

According to scientific legend, quantum mechanics was born on the island of Helgoland in 1925. A hundred years later, physicists are still debating the true nature of this strange theory - and ...

But many of us don't even understand what quantum mechanics is — or how it's deepening our understanding of the universe. For today's installment of our series, "The Scientific Method," we ...

In some ways, death doesn't exist in quantum mechanics. No wonder Albert Einstein thought it made no sense at all, even if the math added up.

Meanwhile in 2025 we celebrate 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics, which lead to this powerful yet baffling computing style that can't even run Doom.

Physicist Max Tegmark, now a professor of physics at MIT, popularized the idea in 1997 as a way to think about quantum mechanics, the physics that explains how the tiniest particles, like atoms ...

Although this new paper provides mathematical evidence that there are quantum solutions to black holes, these techniques can’t be applied close to the singularity because (as Calmet tells Space ...

Finally, they introduced a neuronal constant in these Schrödinger-like equations that is analogous to Planck’s constant (which defines the amount of energy in a quantum). “I got excited when the ...
