A new twist on a classic material could advance quantum computing and make modern data centers more energy efficient, ...

Researchers developed a method to pattern gold nanoparticles with atomic precision, creating patchy particles with new shapes ...

Background Ultrafine particles (UFP; <0.1 µm in diameter) are not regulated or commonly monitored but may be harmful to human health, particularly for children. In this study, we aimed to examine the ...

A team of Harvard physicists built the first-ever quantum computing machine that can operate continuously without restarting, achieving a major breakthrough in a field that could revolutionize ...

I’m lucky to learn firsthand about some of the world’s most cutting-edge technologies. I’ve seen artificial intelligence ace an AP biology test, long before AI became an everyday tool. I’ve seen ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

I’ve been studying the early history of electricity’s discovery as a map for our current discovery of artificial intelligence. The smartest people alive back then, including Isaac Newton, who may have ...

Max Planck really kicked off a whole new way of thinking about the universe. Before him, physics was pretty much all about things behaving smoothly and predictably, like a ball rolling down a hill.

Memory lane is a little more harsh than I expected. A gap of 25 years since I last drove an Ariel Atom has diluted my recall of the full-body fizz that accompanies this revolutionary sports car. This ...
