A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Human behaviour is an enigma that fascinates many scientists. And there has been much discussion over the role of probability in explaining how our minds work. Probability is a mathematical framework ...

The big thinkers at Aperture explain quantum mechanics and the uncertainties at the heart of physics.

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose consciousness under anesthesia.

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

Unless you're a physicist, you've probably only encountered quantum mechanics on TV. And even when it was explained, you might've still been a little confused. The field of quantum mechanics was ...

Record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle.

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

In 1925, German physicist Werner Heisenberg published a paper on quantum mechanics, upending classical physics and launching the world into the quantum age.

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...
