Quantum sensors built in nanometer thin boron nitride sheets endure extreme pressure, enabling precise measurements of stress ...

This is what fun looks like for a particular set of theoretical chemists driven to solve extremely difficult problems: Deciding whether the electromagnetic fields in molecular polaritons should be ...

Earth’s radiation can send some molecules spinning or vibrating, which is what makes them greenhouse gases. This infographic explains how relatively few heat-trapping molecules can have a planetary ...

The world of quantum physics is already mysterious, but what happens when that strange realm of subatomic particles is put ...

Few topics in science are as fascinating and mind-bending as quantum computing and parallel universes. These concepts, ...

A hidden world of quantum metrologists ensure that everyday devices perform safely and correctly, but their work is never done ...

Scientists have found that plants use something called quantum coherence to make photosynthesis work so well. It’s like they’ve got this built-in quantum trick that helps them move energy around super ...

Day,” when quantum computers can break today’s encryption—possibly by 2030—posing risks for crypto, security, and finance.

Unlike traditional electronics, which rely solely on the charge of electrons, spintronics harnesses another quantum property ...

The research work, published in Nature Communications, was developed by an interdisciplinary team led by Ulrich Wiesner, a Professor in the Department of Materials Science and ...

While many research efforts are underway to develop active devices that can function in the challenging terahertz spectrum, ...

Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the ...
