Researchers have resolved a puzzling vibrational phenomenon that has baffled the scientific community for years, after ...

The energy required can be calculated using quantum electrodynamics (QED)—the quantum theory of electromagnetism. However, insufficient knowledge of the structure of such heavy atomic nuclei ...

A team of physicists at Caltech have discovered a new way to use the natural motion of atoms to store and process quantum ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle ...

Quantum physics began in 1900 when the German physicist Max Planck determined the scale of quantum phenomena. In 1905, Albert Einstein extended this idea by proposing that light itself is made up of ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum ...

N. Bohr on the development of the theory of atomic structure, and in particular of the latest form and tendencies of the quantum theory in their relation to mechanics. New points are raised which ...

A study in Nature describes both the mechanism and the material conditions necessary for superfluorescence at room ...

Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between ... by Franck and Teller in 1938 and based on the Frenkel exciton theory does not take into account the specific properties of ...

Subtle quantum effects within atomic nuclei can dramatically affect how some nuclei break apart. By studying 100 isotopes ...
