Scientists review research on gravitational wave detectors as a historical example of quantum technologies and examine the fundamental research on the connection between quantum physics and gravity.

WASHINGTON, March 15, 2022 -- Quantum physical experiments exploring the motion of macroscopic or heavy bodies under gravitational forces require protection from any environmental noise and highly ...

When incredibly massive objects collide violently in space, they send out ripples in space-time that reverberate through the cosmos for billions of years. Long after the collisions happen, these ...

Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank used in the experiments (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of the device. The zoom-in shows the photonic ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Today, a humongous team of astronomers called the NANOGrav ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

There's something different about the waves at Torrey Pines State Beach in California: they're pink, temporarily, of course. The coloring comes from a pink dye that's part of an experiment to research ...

The largest nuclear fusion experiment in the world, the Joint European Torus (JET), has begun a new wave of testing this month. In a statement from the UK Atomic Energy Authority, it was announced ...
