The Center, which will allow for better understanding of the theories of the universe, is a collaborative research initiative between the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science (MPG) in ...

If you put a particle in a box that's the Planck length or smaller, the uncertainty in its position becomes greater than the size of the box.

The Planck mission has produced a map of the cosmic microwave background at higher resolution than ever before. Peter Coles explains its implications for our understanding of the universe The most ...

A fast moving Planck-mass dark matter particle (blue) flying next to a quantum particle in a state which is the superposition of two positions (red) induces a phase shift between the two quantum ...

A spacecraft that revealed details of the hidden tapestry of the infant cosmos has had its last hurrah. Since its launch, Planck has helped scientists settle on a detailed, cohesive story of the ...

Soot particle filters, in turn, remove the nanometer- to micrometer-sized particles from car exhaust fumes with the help of chemical surface reactions.

Physicists are a step closer to using quantum computers for simulations that are beyond the ability of any ordinary computers ...

Physicists don’t know what actually goes on at the Planck scale, but they can speculate. Some theoretical particle physicists predict all four fundamental forces—gravity, the weak force, ...

Wave-particle duality is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics, which is our modern theory of how subatomic particles behave.

From soot particle filters to renewable fuels Date: January 22, 2025 Source: Max Planck Institute for Chemistry Summary: Unraveling the chemical processes in soot particle filters reveals new ways ...

The highest energy conceivable for an elementary particle is the so-called Planck energy. With this energy, quantum mechanics changes the nature of gravity and gravitational interaction is as strong ...
