Planck's constant is one of the most important numbers in all of physics. It is, essentially, the ultimate guide to the quantum world. It tells us where quantum effects are important, the fundamental ...

POSTECH, MPK, and Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics have revealed the hidden dynamics of electrons during quantum ...

A new method turns noise into valuable data to enhance understanding of chemical reactions and material properties with ...

The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator in Germany set a record with 43 seconds of plasma, marking a major step toward clean, sustainable nuclear fusion energy.

A hundred years ago, the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Flow Research began its work. From it emerged today’s Max Planck ...

Researchers are creating new moiré materials at the nanometer scale using advanced DNA nanotechnology. DNA moiré ...

Quantum computers have been hyped as machines that can solve almost any problem. Yet it is becoming clearer that their ...

Breakthroughs from two rival experiments, Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X and the Joint European Torus, suggest the elusive dream ...

The smallest time interval ever defined. Named after theoretical physicist Max Planck (1858-1947), Planck time is 10-43 seconds; however, the only measurement ever actually made was more than ...

Planck Time is the shortest measurable moment in the Universe,just 5.39 × 10⁻⁴⁴ seconds. It’s a concept so extreme that it stretches the limits of physics and challenges our very understanding of time ...

Max Planck really got the ball rolling for quantum physics by introducing the idea of energy coming in tiny packets, or ...
