For the first time, physicists in China have virtually eliminated the friction felt between two surfaces at scales visible to ...

One of the defining characteristics of quantum objects is their ability to change from an excited state to a ground state without passing through any intermediate states. The consequences of quantum ...

Quantum physics concerns a world of infinitely small things. But for years, researchers have been attempting to observe the properties of quantum physics on a larger scale, even macroscopic. Quantum ...

If a tree falls in the forest and someone is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Perhaps not. As macroscopic observers, we can say three things about reality. If you see an event happening, it ...

The long-range teleportation barrier has already been broken multiple times, but the information being transported, such as a single quantum bit (qubit), has always been relatively small, and never ...

In inertial confinement fusion, a capsule of fuel begins at temperatures near zero and pressures close to vacuum. When lasers compress that fuel to trigger fusion, the material heats up to millions of ...

The formation of macroscopic assemblies based on molecular recognition is promising in a wide variety of fields of materials science. Switching of the selectivity of macroscopic assemblies is of ...

Researchers have demonstrated entanglement between distant objects (millimeters in size and with billions atoms in a magnetic field) in a hybrid system consisting of a mechanical oscillator and an ...
