The IVO quantum inertia drive is in orbit now and will be turned on within one to ten weeks and then operated for many weeks or months. The IVO quantum inertia drive is very controversial because it ...

The quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators are time-reversal invariant and have a bulk charge-excitation gap. However, this system also possesses topologically protected gapless edge states that lie ...

(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., ...

Scientists investigated numerically the interaction between a quantized vortex and a normal-fluid. Based on the experimental results, researchers decided the most consistent of several theoretical ...

Quantized conductance — whereby the current through a wire changes in a stepwise, rather than continuous manner — has been seen in very narrow ribbons of graphene for the first time. The discovery was ...

Planck's constant is one of the fundamental constants that sets up all the "rules" for how things work in our universe. (It’s named after the theoretical physicist Max Planck, who is best known for ...

Sound solution: both experiments made us of quantized sound in crystalline materials. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Dmitriy-Rybin) New levels of precision control over the ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to develop a quantum theory of gravity. But what if gravity — and space-time — are fundamentally classical? Most physicists expect that when we zoom in on the ...
