Researchers from Yale University have completed the first end-to-end quantum data transmission ever done on demand using novel “pitch-and-catch” technologies. Yale’s latest work expanding the…
Physicists at the University of Warwick have published new research in the Journal Science that could literally squeeze more power out of solar cells by…
Researchers playing with a cloud of ultracold atoms uncovered behavior that bears a striking resemblance to the universe in microcosm. Their work, which forges new…
Theoretical physicists used simulations to explain the unusual readings collected in 2009 by the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission. The origin…
The term “superfluid quasicrystal” sounds like something a comic-book villain might use to carry out his dastardly plans. In reality, it’s a new form of…
Yale scientists used laser light to gain access to long-lived sound waves in crystalline solids as the basis for information storage. The result was published…
An intricate lattice of microscopic magnets has led researchers to observe behavior that is reminiscent of the complexities of quantum mechanical systems, but in the…
New data could shed light on why the universe has more matter than antimatter. This week, an international team of physicists, including researchers at MIT,…
It’s difficult to conceptualize a world where humans could casually manipulate nanoscale objects at will or even control their own biological matter at a cellular…
If equal amounts of matter and antimatter had formed in the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago, one would have annihilated the other…
In laser facilities in the UK, Imperial physicists are testing an 84-year-old theory which was once thought impossible to prove. The theory of the Breit-Wheeler…
With an atomic structure resembling a Japanese basketweaving pattern, “kagome metal” exhibits exotic, quantum behavior. A motif of Japanese basketweaving known as the kagome pattern…
University of Houston scientists are helping to develop a technology that could hold the key to unraveling one of the great mysteries of science: what…
Flows of molten metal can generate magnetic fields. This so-called dynamo effect creates cosmic magnetic fields, like those found on planets, moons and even asteroids….
When we talk about “information technology,” we generally mean the technology part, like computers, networks, and software. But information itself, and its behavior in quantum…
The unique Australian approach of creating quantum bits from precisely positioned individual atoms in silicon is reaping major rewards, with UNSW Sydney-led scientists showing for…
It’s hard to believe that a single material can be described by as many superlatives as graphene can. Since its discovery in 2004, scientists have…
Scientists at Queen’s University Belfast have led an international team to the ground-breaking discovery that magnetic waves crashing through the Sun may be key to…
