From computer chips to quantum dots—technological platforms were only made possible thanks to a detailed understanding of the used solid-state materials, such as silicon or more complex semiconductor ...

A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal crystal repeat in space. Examples once existed in only complex, quantum matter, ...

Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated countries on Earth, has long battled a massive waste crisis. In cities like Dhaka, garbage once overwhelmed streets, rivers, and canals, turning vital ...

How the study of the tunnel effect at the macro level will help to create a new generation of computers and sensors ...

Researchers developed a chip-based single-phonon directional coupler that carries out controllable splitting and achieves quantum-level performance. The device could enable microscopic on-chip routers ...

Artificial intelligence and advanced computing are helping scientists quickly identify and develop new battery materials, reducing reliance on lithium and other scarce resources. In a collaboration ...
