Cats may seem solid, but they’re actually somewhat liquid — at least according to one 2017 theoretical physics paper inspired by videos of cats squeezing under doors, into tight vases and down narrow ...

Schrödinger’s cat, the infamous thought experiment involving a cat that can be alive and dead at the same time, has been brought to life with qubits. Schrödinger’s cat experiments have been done with ...
Quantum superposition states are known for being fragile, but researchers in China managed to maintain one for an impressive 23 minutes and 20 seconds. Beyond just the record, they believe this ...
A cat is in a sealed box. It is both alive and dead, at least until you open the lid. Inside the sealed chamber also sits a vial of poison. This vial could be triggered to break by a tiny amount of ...
Physicists seem to be obsessed with cats. James Clerk Maxwell, the father of electrodynamics, studied falling feline s to investigate how they turned as they fell. Many physics teachers have used a ...

Physicists have replicated the famous Schrödinger's cat experiment at hotter temperatures than ever before. The breakthrough is a small but significant step toward quantum computers that can work at ...
As the proud owner of four housecats—Cookie, Sushi, Crumbles and Stinky—Péter Pongrácz can think of a million worthy research questions that might shed light on the mysterious inner lives of the world ...
Cats can be quite aloof at times, but they have subtle ways of making their affection known. Here’s how to spot them. With their graceful yet indifferent demeanors, cats often leave their owners ...
The old scientific concept of the ether —an all-pervading medium which transmits light and gravitational force—is a nine-lived cat. Supposedly killed off several times, it still keeps pattering around ...
