Again it sounds unbelievable, but quantum tunneling is a well-documented phenomenon that occurs in a range of scenarios, such as nuclear fusion. In the case of DNA mutations, the team says that the ...

If you throw a ball at a wall, it's going to bounce back at you – that's classical physics at work. But of course, the world of quantum physics is much spookier, so if you did the same with a particle ...

Quantum particles can burrow through barriers that should be impenetrable — but they don’t do it instantaneously, a new experiment suggests. The process, known as quantum tunneling, takes place ...

As computing demands grow, driven by artificial intelligence and the internet of things, the need for energy-efficient electronics becomes critical. At the heart of this evolution are transistors, the ...

Here's how to get your full money's worth when you burn your scented candles, prevent candle tunneling and fix it if it's started. Sarah Mitroff has worn many hats at CNET, including Senior Mobile ...

Imagine you are walking and encounter a barrier, such as a hill or a wall. The only way to make it to the other side is to climb all the way up and over it. Yet what if you had the same superpowers as ...
