A new optical technique lets scientists control topological solitons in ferroelectric materials, paving the way for next-generation memory technologies.

Scientists directly observed dark excitons in atomically thin materials, revealing how they evolve and paving the way for dark valleytronic quantum technologies. Professor Keshav Dani, head of the ...

It was a fateful day for Doc Brown in 1955 when he fell off his toilet, hit his head on his sink, and woke up with the image of the flux capacitor burned into his brain. That was the moment that ...

It is as if one person said, ‘It is bitter cold in Chicago’; and another answered, ‘That is a fallacy, it is very hot in Florida.” Erwin Schrödinger’s clever joke to Einstein in 1935 struck the ...

You don’t need a science degree to start learning about quantum physics—many books are written with beginners in mind. Mixing stories, humor, and real-life examples can make quantum physics much ...

Marty McFly went Back to the Future but what do scientists think about time travel in the real world? Is it possible? And what are the rules of time and space?

The future of computing lies in the surprising world of quantum physics, where the rules are much different from the ones that power today's devices. Quantum computers promise to tackle problems too ...

An international team of researchers from Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), Tohoku University (Japan), and École Polytechnique de Montréal (Canada) has made a significant discovery in semiconductor ...

Science fiction sometimes uses quantum concepts to make the impossible seem plausible. But real-world developments will likely have profound societal implications.

A black hole analog could tell us a thing or two about an elusive radiation theoretically emitted by the real thing.

This quiz will test your grasp of everything from orbital mechanics and international partnerships to basic facts about the International Space Station ...

Snyder and Hatch depict a lovely range of holiday moments: on one night, the family gets a flat tire and improvises a candle lighting with a banana menorah; on another, the youngest child and family ...
