Traditional computers rely on binary bits for computation, while quantum computers utilize quantum bits that have superposition properties. The research team chose atoms as carriers for quantum bits ...

At just 25, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin applied quantum physics to a treasure trove of astronomical observations to show that stars are mostly hydrogen and helium.

Cornell Engineering researchers have demonstrated that, by zapping a synthetic thin film with ultrafast pulses of ...

This research suggests that even chaotic, unpredictable phenomena, like waves on a shore or the beating of a heart, can be ...

Max Planck is widely recognized as the father of quantum theory for his groundbreaking work on energy quanta. His initial ...

Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a ...

Albert Einstein's revolutionary theories continue to shape modern science and technology. From GPS satellites to medical ...

Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear ...

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin discovered the composition of stars at the age of 25: hydrogen, helium, and traces of nearly all other elements. Her 1925 discovery was one of the earliest successful attempts ...

New finding advances our understanding of complex topological quantum systems and could help in the development of next-generation memory and storage devices ...

At a busy street crossing, people wait for the signal to change. When one person steps out first, others soon follow.
