A new breakthrough may help scientists solve some of the mysteries of the quantum realm. For the first time, physicists have been able to measure the geometrical 'shape' a lone electron adopts as it ...

The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system's state changes when we tweak certain ...

Describing natural phenomena with geometric language is one of the most important achievements of modern physics. In the context of general relativity, Einstein treats spacetime as a dynamic geometric ...

For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

How can data be processed at lightning speed, or electricity conducted without loss? To achieve this, scientists and industry alike are turning to quantum materials, governed by the laws of the ...

Noncommutative geometry, at its core, challenges the classical notion of a point by allowing coordinates to fail to commute. This alteration leads to a rich interplay between geometry and algebra, ...

In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley failed to measure the speed of Earth by comparing the speed of light in ...

Physicists found electrons synchronizing in star-shaped Kagome crystals, showing geometry can tune quantum behavior and shape material function. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the Max Planck Institute ...
