An experiment conducted recently at the University of Queensland in Brisbane has lent further credence to the weirdness underlying the world of quantum mechanics, demonstrating that many of the ...

Have you ever been in more than one place at the same time? If you’re much bigger than an atom, the answer will be no. But atoms and particles are governed by the rules of quantum mechanics, in which ...

Recent experiments have begun to demonstrate how the weird world of quantum mechanics gives way to the familiarity of everyday experience Editor’s note (10/9/2012): We are making the text of this ...

The strangeness of the world of the very small that allows a particle to be in two states at once may extend to larger scales, two new studies reveal. If the research proves true, that would bolster ...
