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

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 ...

Scientific research was suppressed for decades in Maoist China, Stalin's Russia, and Nazi Germany. This seriously held back ...

Nikhil Malvankar, a Mumbai-born professor at Yale has blended biology and quantum mechanics to uncover a microbial mystery ...

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

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 ...

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.
