Sitting in a restaurant, you reach for the ketchup bottle, eyeing the basket of fries in front of you. You give the bottle a ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to ...

Just as flight simulators can offer a trainee pilot insight into what it might be like to fly an aeroplane in real life, quantum simulators help physicists to understand the complex quantum behaviour ...

Active matter: this microscope image shows part of a cluster of self-propelled particles, colour-coded according to their distance from the centre. (Courtesy: Jie Zhang, Ricard Alert, Jing Yan, Ned S ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...
