Rice University researchers used a focused electron beam to pattern device functions with submicron precision directly into ...

Nobel Prize winners show how superconducting circuits can exhibit quantum behavior, leading to transformative technologies.

New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange themselves into orderly, but nonrepeating, ...

John Clarke, John Martinis and Michel H. Devoret will share this year’s physics Nobel for their discovery in the mid-1980s ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That’s normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...

Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise ...

Gold truly deserves to be called a precious metal. Now, scientists have found a way to extract gold from e-waste using ...

Discover the groundbreaking work of John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis in the field of quantum physics. Learn how ...

In a new study, scientists have shown that chemical receptors that plants use to recognize nitrogen-fixing bacteria have ...

The discovery could significantly reduce the production costs of fuels, chemicals, and materials. A research team from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and ...

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...

EPFL physicists and their collaborators have directly observed and controlled a rare double-dome pattern of superconductivity in twisted trilayer ...
