Essentially, the quantum metric creates a “geometric” drag on the electrons. When the magnetic field is applied, it breaks the time-reversal symmetry, revealing this hidden geometry by causing the ...

Black holes are often described as cosmic traps from which nothing can escape, yet modern physics says they are not perfectly black. At their edges, quantum effects make them glow with a faint thermal ...

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...

Scientists pushed photons across the universe to test the speed of light—and found Einstein’s cosmic speed limit still holds ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Physicists have directly mapped a hidden kind of geometry inside quantum materials that steers electrons in ways strikingly ...
