Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers have deliberately engineered a controllable quantum bit inside living cells and tied it ...

Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical ...

The Dynamical Casimir Effect (DCE) encompasses a striking quantum phenomenon whereby rapid, nonadiabatic modifications of boundary conditions produce pairs of real photons from the quantum vacuum – a ...

HOUSTON – (June 17, 2025) – Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations — virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with ...

Physicists have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space - a phenomenon once thought to belong purely to the realm of science fiction. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the University ...

Researchers experiment exploited an uncanny feature of the quantum vacuum: It isn't really empty at all.
