(Nanowerk News) Throwing a ball into the air, one can transfer arbitrary energy to the ball such that it flies higher or lower. One of the oddities of quantum physics is that particles, e.g., ...

At the subatomic level, particles interact not only with one another, but with the quantum fields inherent to space, both owing to the presence of charged sources and also to the quantum vacuum of ...

India, Nov. 11 -- Century old Quantum Mechanics can explain how a single sub-atomic particle cross the energy barrier through tunneling, be located at multiple places simultaneously, occupies discrete ...

(a-c) Schematics showing an energy level diagram at the mean-field level, namely, out-of-phase state (a), zero-energy state (b), and in-phase state (c), respectively. Each level is marked with its ...

What is the Quantum Size Effect? The quantum size effect (QSE) is a phenomenon observed in nanomaterials where their electronic, optical, and magnetic properties deviate from those of the bulk ...
