First quantum-mechanical model of quasicrystals reveals why they exist. ... The atoms in any given material usually arrange into crystals so that the chemical bonds achieve the lowest possible energy.

Over the last few decades, it seems that every classical piece of technology has gotten a quantum counterpart. Of course, ...

Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘ne… ...

Over the past few years, researchers have developed various quantum technologies, alternatives to classical devices that ...

The quantum energy teleportation protocol was proposed in 2008 and largely ignored. Now two independent experiments have shown that it works.

Researchers from Aalto University and Lancaster University report the confirmation of a theoretical prediction about the existence of quantum turbulence and how energy dissipates at such small scales.

The research leaves little room for doubt that energy teleportation is a genuine quantum phenomenon. “This really does test it,” said Seth Lloyd, a quantum physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Quantum-mechanical simulations demonstrate that certain quasicrystals are enthalpy-stabilized, meaning their atomic arrangements represent the lowest energy state for specific compositions.

First quantum-mechanical model of quasicrystals reveals why they exist Quasicrystals couldn't be simulated with quantum mechanics because of their irregular atomic patterns.

The energy within each nanoparticle can be calculated using quantum mechanics because the particle has defined boundaries. Repeating the calculations over a range of scoop sizes allows the researchers ...
