For a wide variety of emerging quantum technologies, such as secure quantum communications and quantum computing, quantum entanglement is a prerequisite. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institute…

Gravity has shaped our cosmos. Its attractive influence turned tiny differences in the amount of matter present in the early universe into the sprawling strands…

A research team at European XFEL and DESY has achieved a major advance in X-ray science by generating unprecedented high-power attosecond hard X-ray pulses at…

Researchers can now analyze magnetic nanostructures with great resolution thanks to a novel technique. It was created by scientists from the Max Planck Institute of…

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies…

A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt…

Weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass and can vary depending on the strength of the gravitational field. Mass is a measure…

Potential energy is the energy stored in any object or system due to the position or arrangement of its parts. It is, however, unaffected by…

The 2024 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their fundamental discoveries in machine learning, which paved the…

A scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart was taken aback by an unexpected discovery: nanometer-sized diamond particles, intended for a…

Quantum physics and quantum chemistry both rely heavily on strongly interacting systems. Monte Carlo simulations, for example, are a well-established method for studying complex systems.…

It’s one thing to imagine a quantum internet that might convey hacker-proof information throughout the world using photons overlaid in various quantum states. It’s quite…
