Physicists have proposed modifications to the infamous Schrödinger's cat paradox that could help explain why quantum particles can exist in more than one state simultaneously, while large objects ...

British theoretical physicist Paul Dirac was one of the most significant figures in the early days of quantum physics, who along with Erwin Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1933. But it ...

Pictured: Water whirls. Solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations make it possible to predict the behaviour of liquids under a variety of conditions, from the motion of the oceans, to the flow of blood ...

The relationship between quantum mechanics and classical physics has baffled scientists for decades. In the quantum world, particles can exist in multiple states at once—a phenomenon known as ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...
