Scientists think that might be the case, and are looking for a source of extra energy that could generate the magnetic field they observe.
Researchers in China have teleported a photon from the ground to a satellite orbiting more than 500 kilometers above.
In a new study, scientists have successfully transmitted entangled photons between a satellite and Earth at a distance of over 1,200 km.
A research team has developed the first switch that turns on and off a quantum behavior called the Berry phase. The discovery may lead to new quantum electronic devices.
Two-dimensional quantum materials with novel electrical and magnetic attributes have been fabricated by physicists.
Two separate research teams managed to create what looked an awful lot like time crystals back in January, and now both experiments have successfully passed peer-review for the first time, putting the 'impossible' phenomenon squarely in the realm of reality.
Scientists have demonstrated the ability to 'see' the future of quantum systems and used that knowledge to preempt their demise, in a major achievement that could help bring the strange and powerful world of quantum technology closer to reality.
More than 100,000 people participated in the BIG Bell Test, a global experiment to test the laws of quantum physics.
For the first time, scientists have observed the formation of quasiparticles - a strange phenomenon observed in certain solids - in real time, something that physicists have been struggling to do for decades.
Australian scientists have stopped light in a cloud of very cold atoms, a development that provides a essential building block for quantum computing.
Scientists have shown they can teleport photons across a city, a development that has been hailed as a technological breakthrough.
Harnessing the shared wave nature of light and matter, researchers have used light to explore some of the most intriguing questions in the quantum mechanics of materials.
The simulator is designed to model and mimic complex physics phenomena in a way that is impossible with conventional machines, even supercomputers.
Chances are you're familiar with the Schroedinger's cat paradox, whereby a hypothetical cat inside a box is both dead and alive. Now physicists at Yale University have figured out how to make a quantum cat that both lives and dies in two boxes at once.
Scientists in Ireland discovered a new form of light that will radically change our understanding of how light functions.
