One of the biggest challenges in modern physics is uniting quantum mechanics and general relativity. A new experiment may ...

We know magnetism as a fundamental force of nature that plays a crucial role in both the natural world and modern technology.

Researchers investigating atomic-scale phenomena impacting next-generation electronic and quantum devices have captured the ...

The minima of the diffraction patterns show an intensity pattern matching Kirchhoff’s diffraction theory, with narrower slits leading to broader diffraction patterns, validating the inverse ...

Letter: Meeting Heisenberg and reconsidering Schrödinger (2) Published 7 May 2025 From James Edmondson, Ilchester, Somerset, UK I have always loved Carlo Rovelli’s brilliant writing. Doesn’t ...

Letter: Meeting Heisenberg and reconsidering Schrödinger (1) Published 7 May 2025 From Maggie Cobbett, Ripon, North Yorkshire, UK Your special issue on quantum theory took me back to 1974, when I ...

Instead of a traditional test, students became experts on a specific aspect of atomic theory, from foundational concepts to complex topics like ions, the work of Schrödinger and Heisenberg, and ...

Our understanding of the universe, which extends almost back to the Big Bang, is also based on quantum physics and the theory of relativity. Quantum physics describes the laws of physics on a ...
