Some birds use Earth's magnetic field to navigate, but how they do this has been a mystery. Now, researchers have found a protein in bird eyes with a quantum mechanical sensitivity to magnetic fields.
The results may offer insight into the inconsistency between quantum mechanics and the theory of general relativity, which describes gravity and the behaviour of the universe at very large scales.
Newton may have been exceptional, but he can no longer be seen as William Wordsworth’s Romantic genius soaring in strange seas of thought alone, an abstract mind divorced from the mundane concerns that affect every human being.
The first results from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment have just come out, compelling, but not definitive. But it’s not time to give up on the Standard Model just yet.
One of the most basic processes in all of nature—a subatomic particle’s transition between discrete energy states—is surprisingly complex and sometimes predictable, recent work shows

How much time does the measurement process take and what is the quantum state of the system at any intermediate step?
At the center of a distant galaxy there's a black hole with the mass of several billion suns. And now, for the first time, we can see it.
