But such measurements are notoriously challenging: the instruments used are themselves governed by quantum laws, and their interaction with particles can alter the very properties they are meant to ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — but researchers have ...

It may be possible to draw energy from a vacuum using gravity, a theoretical physicist says. If researchers succeed in showing that this can happen, it could prove the long-postulated existence of the ...
