Two new quantum experiments just proved Einstein wrong

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Anything-goes 'anyons' may be at the root of surprising quantum experiments

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two ...

Superconductivity and magnetism can co-exist in some materials, MIT study finds

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...
