Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

Yet even at this apparently late date in the field's development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...

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 ...

Modern cell phones are also built on the work of today’s winners from 40 years ago.

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

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

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was handed out to people for pulling off what Marvel writers only pretend to understand: ...

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

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these ...

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

Scientists reveal for the first time the atomic structure of liquid carbon, key to exoplanets and nuclear fusion.

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 ...
