Four common misconceptions about quantum physics

Quantum mechanics, the theory which rules the microworld of atoms and particles, certainly has the X factor. Unlike many other areas of physics, it is bizarre and counter-intuitive, which makes it dazzling and intriguing. ...

Searching for quantum gravity from under the ice

King's experimental physicist, Dr. Teppei Katori, is a lead analyst of data gathered by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in the search for quantum gravity. The observatory, buried deep beneath the Antarctic ice, detects astrophysical ...

Researchers create first quasiparticle Bose-Einstein condensate

Physicists have created the first Bose-Einstein condensate—the mysterious fifth state of matter—made from quasiparticles, entities that do not count as elementary particles but that can still have elementary-particle ...
