Metals, as most know them, are good conductors of electricity. That's because the countless electrons in a metal like gold or ...

Dark matter could be an entire dark sector of the universe, with its own particles and forces H ave you ever stood by the sea ...

Even when particles seem to shift in the blink of an eye, as with quantum entanglement, there are measurable intervals ...

An atom is so small that a single drop of water contains more than a billion atoms. Although tiny, atoms are mostly empty space. The simplified model of the atom is that of a cloud of negative ...

Researchers at QuTech, in collaboration with Fujitsu and Element Six, have demonstrated a complete set of quantum gates with ...

I began graduate study in 1975, the midpoint of the first 100 years of quantum mechanics, 50 years ago and 50 years after the ...

Cadmium-based nanostructures are opening new possibilities in near-infrared (NIR) technology, from medical imaging to fiber ...

Scientists have unlocked a new way to control ionization, the process where atoms lose electrons, using specially designed ...

Researchers at QuTech, in collaboration with Fujitsu and Element Six, have demonstrated a complete set of quantum gates with error probabilities below 0.1%. While many challenges remain, being able to ...

Every atom has some energy, which it bears in its particles and the forces acting between them. Sometimes an atom’s nucleus may have too much energy, rendering it unstable and looking for ...

Quantum computing promises to enable researchers to understand the basic structures of our world, rapidly develop new life-saving drugs, more accurately model weather patterns, improve logistical ...

On March 2, 1995, the top quark discovery at Fermilab was announced by scientists on the CDF and DZero collaborations, and ...
