Wave packets in free fall: An experiment with ultracold atoms demonstrates that Einstein's equivalence principle also applies to quantum objects. In the test, the...
Target approach to Mercury: The crucial phase for the European-Japanese Mercury mission BepiColombo begins this afternoon - the first step of the complex final...
Photoelectric breakthrough: Physicists have for the first time measured the quantum state of key players in semiconductors - the quasiparticles that enable the conversion...
Theoretically, the entire space should be filled with a diffuse background noise of supernova neutrinos - elementary particles that have been released in stellar...
The phenomenon of quantum entanglement is less fragile than expected: Even when Higgs bosons decay in the world's most powerful particle accelerator, quantum-physically entangled...
Although Erwin Schrödinger co-founded modern quantum theory and significantly enriched it with his equation formulated in 1926, he was not convinced of its counterintuitive...
Portioned vibration energy: Physicists have proven for the first time that sound waves and other mechanical vibrations are also quantized - the energy of...
The mushroom season is starting - and with it the risk of dangerous mix-ups increases. The green death cap mushroom is particularly treacherous. Doctors...
The thought experiment of Schrödinger's cat illustrates the state of quantum physical superposition. But why doesn't this work with everyday objects? Physicists have now...
Many women turn to herbal preparations for hot flashes and sweats. But in the Öko-Test test, dietary supplements in particular performed poorly: 15 out...
