We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Can two versions of reality exist at the same time? Physicists say they can — at the quantum level, that is. Woman who killed ...

The work of American artist Stanley Casselman lives at the intersection of art and science, translating the elements of reality—from the vastness of the cosmos to the infinitesimal building blocks of ...

In the quest to build a quantum internet, scientists are putting their memories to the test. Quantum memories, that is. Now, two teams of scientists have entangled quantum memories in networks nestled ...

Earth’s rotation has been measured many times over — but never like this. In a first, scientists used entangled quantum particles called photons to reveal the rate at which the globe spins. The feat ...

Using optical tweezers composed of laser light, researchers have developed a novel way to manipulate individual atoms and create a state of hyper-entanglement. This breakthrough could lead to new ...

Growing up in the US during the oil embargo of the early 1970s, I was bombarded by public service announcements encouraging people to conserve energy. But at a very young age, I also read that “energy ...
