Error suppression opens pathway to universal quantum computing. A scientist at the University of Sydney has achieved what one quantum industry insider has described as…
Physicists propose that the influence of cosmic rays on early life may explain nature’s preference for a uniform “handedness” among biology’s critical molecules. Before there…
The advance opens a path toward a new generation of logic and memory devices that could be 10,000 times faster than today’s. In designing electronic…
When something just works, that’s usually a good thing. But for scientists and engineers, when something works and they don’t understand the mechanism behind it,…
Physicists have measured the flight times of electrons emitted from a specific atom in a molecule upon excitation with laser light. This has enabled them…
Study co-led by Berkeley Lab reveals how wavelike plasmons could power up a new class of sensing and photochemical technologies at the nanoscale. Wavelike, collective…
Quantum entanglement is a process by which microscopic objects like electrons or atoms lose their individuality to become better coordinated with each other. Entanglement is…
Machine learning techniques accurately calculate the energy required to make — or break — simple molecules. A new machine learning tool can calculate the energy…
A new measuring method helps understand the physics of high-temperature superconductivity From sustainable energy to quantum computers: high-temperature superconductors have the potential to revolutionize today’s…
An international team led by researchers from the University of Oviedo and the Centre for Research in Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology (CINN-CSIC), together with scientist from…
Quantum technology is currently one of the most active fields of research worldwide. It takes advantage of the special properties of quantum mechanical states of…
Recently, Prof. YANG Xueming from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. YANG Tiangang from the Southern University…
Improved deformable precision mirrors could improve sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors to help scientists detect new sources of gravitational waves from deep in space. Researchers…
Princeton researchers detect a supercurrent — a current flowing without energy loss — at the edge of a superconductor with a topological twist. A discovery…
Sound waves reveal the unique properties of an ultracold quantum gas, a model system for describing certain superconductors and forms of nuclear matter. A new…
Creating and controlling on Earth the fusion energy that powers the sun and stars is a key goal of scientists around the world. Production of…
If you see people walking down a street and coming to a junction, it’s difficult to predict which direction they might take. But, if you…
Scientists have been able to observe the universe and determine that about 80% of the its mass appears to be “dark matter,” which exerts a…
