A team led by a physicist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently developed a new quantum theory that explains the "light-induced phase" of matter and predicts its novel functionalities.

(Tony Melov/Canva) Quantum mechanics is so odd that even the visionary genius who described the secrets of the Universe ...

The prevailing assumption has been that Einstein's theory of gravity must be modified, or 'quantized', in order to fit within quantum theory. This is the approach of two leading candidates for a ...

“EINSTEIN attacks quantum theory.” That was the headline in The New York Times on 4 May 1935. The world’s most famous scientist and two collaborators had discovered what they saw as a fatal flaw at ...

Our most successful theory of nature is bewilderingly remote from reality. But fixing that may require a weirder theory still PHYSICS, its practitioners will proudly tell you, is the most fundamental ...

Every electronic and optoelectronic device generates heat, and today that heat is managed almost entirely from the outside. Heatsinks, fans, cold plates and refrigerators are bulky exterior measures ...
