quantum physics

This is the first time that evidence of neutrinos has been found with the MicroBooNE detector.

The Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded this award to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald for their work demonstrating that neutrinos have mass.

The particle, considered key to the compression of the Universe, was discovered three years ago.

Thanks to more than 8,000 experimental data obtained in particle accelerators in different parts of the world between 1950 and 2013, a group of scientists from the University of Granada (UGR) has managed to measure the nuclear force in the most precise way so far.

A team of physicists from the University of Marburg (Germany) and the JILA center (University of Colorado Boulder-NIST) has discovered a new type of quasiparticle formed by a handful of electrons and holes (where there are no electrons) which they have named as "dropleton". Its name comes from the English word "droplet" (drop), since this quantum drop has part particle and part liquid.

The day is still far off when, emulating the famous 'Doc' from the movie Back to the Future, we build a vehicle that allows us to move through time. However, advances in quantum physics bring us dizzyingly closer to a world in which what is seen is not what it seems and in which fiction becomes reality. Now, an international group of scientists in which the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) participates has proposed an experiment to allow the transfer of information between past and future, taking advantage of the properties of the quantum vacuum.

Who has never dreamed of being able to teleport, for example when you have to make a trip of several hours or return home after a long day at work? Although the possibility of instantaneous 'travel' is still a utopia, scientists are making giant strides in the field of quantum teleportation, a system that promises to revolutionize the world of telecommunications.

We have all dreamed of walking through walls just like superheroes in comics do. Although some subatomic particles can perform this feat through quantum tunnels, the effect has not yet been achieved with larger corpuscles. Now, a team of physicists from Aalto University (Finland) has designed a mechanism to try to get macroscopic objects through obstacles.
