Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical ...

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers have ...

HOUSTON – (June 17, 2025) – Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations — virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with ...

We may be able to harvest the quantum property of entanglement from apparently empty space, according to a group of researchers. If their proposal can be realised, it has the potential to reveal new ...

The Dynamical Casimir Effect (DCE) encompasses a striking quantum phenomenon whereby rapid, nonadiabatic modifications of boundary conditions produce pairs of real photons from the quantum vacuum – a ...

A team of physicists claims to have pulled energy out of a vacuum, Quanta reports — a trick that required them to teleport it from a different location using quantum tech. The work builds on previous ...

Quantum annealer has simulated the fundamental process of false vacuum decay, opening the window to the understanding of interactions between true vacuum bubbles. Credit: Professor Zlatko Papic / ...
