Upending a basic tenet of classical physics, researchers have found that heat energy can travel through a vacuum thanks to invisible quantum fluctuations.

The melting point of metals usually goes up under pressure, but it may actually go down with about 300,000 times the pressure of Earth's atmosphere.

A new "quantum microphone," the most sensitive in the world, is so precise it can measure single particles of sound, called phonons.

A new method of controlling quantum properties with light could help scientists "create crazy-fast quantum computers by nudging supercurrents."

New experiments with "movies" of quantum systems show that they follow the second law of thermodynamics—most of the time, that is.

Double-layer stacks of graphene show off some new quantum physics scientists haven't observed before.

Two new studies show quantum bits connecting over the longest distance ever and also via sound.

A new platform could lead to quantum bits that are both stable and mass producible, paving the way for quantum computers.

A new nanocompnent that's less than one-tenth the width of a human hair could pave the way for quantum computers or even a quantum internet.

Check out this video to hear physicists go head-to-head over which is better: theoretical or experimental physics.
