A vacuum is not exactly empty in quantum mechanics terms. It is also a headache for physicists.

Time Travel Without the Paradoxes

Join ZME Science in its carefully non-copyright infringing time machine with your sidekick ‘Marty’ to see if time travel paradoxes can be escaped.

Quantum Teleportation: Separating Science Fact from Science Fiction

Quantum teleportation may take its name from its fictional counterpart, but aside from that, it shares few commonalities. Despite this, by forming the basis of future quantum technologies, it is no less exciting.

Certainly Uncertain: What's Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle is more than a mathematical quirk, a handy guiding principle, or the inspiration for some really nerdy t-shirts. It is intrinsic to nature, weaved into the fabric of all matter. Together we take a trip to ZME labs to use some everyday objects to demonstrate how nature tells us “you can’t have it all.”

What is Superposition? Schrödinger's Cat Experiment Explained

The tale of physics’ most famous cat is one that is familiar to many, but what is the inside story of the feline so demanding it requires its own Universe, and how does it illustrate the 'weirdness' of the quantum world?

How many dimensions are there?

According to String Theorists, there are at least 10 dimensions. But there could be as many as 26.
