What if your conscious experiences were not just the chatter of neurons, but were connected to the hum of the universe? In a ...

So one of the strangest concepts I've come across in physics is the quantum vacuum. Or rather the apparent affect that empty space isn't empty. That the explanation right now is "virtual particles" ...

The fabric of spacetime is roiling with vibrating quantum fields, known as the vacuum energy. It’s right there, everywhere we look. Could we ever get anything out of it? We can even calculate the ...

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 ...

Absolutely empty -- that is how most of us envision the vacuum. Yet, in reality, it is filled with an energetic flickering: the quantum fluctuations. Experts are currently preparing a laser experiment ...

Physicists have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space - a phenomenon once thought to belong purely to the realm of science fiction. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the University ...

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has achieved a milestone in quantum technologies, demonstrating for the first time the control of quantum randomness. The team of ...

Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling ...

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 / ...

Levitating sensors are moving from science-fiction imagery to practical laboratory tools, promising a new generation of ...
