Physicists in China have demonstrated that a structure called an optical metasurface can individually trap up to 78,400 neutral atoms – a promising development in efforts to build a large-scale ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

Amazon finds itself navigating a complex landscape of aggressive investment and heightened regulatory challenges. The company is channeling unprecedented capita ...

AN international team of scientists has created a molecule unlike any previously known, demonstrating how quantum computing can help scientists uncover new forms of matter that traditional computing ...

Quantum theory in chemistry explains the behavior of atoms and molecules at the smallest scales, which is essential for understanding chemical reactions and properties. It provides the framework for ...

A new momentum microscope at Forschungszentrum Jülich makes electrons and their properties in solids visible. The instrument, developed entirely in Jülich, provides unprecedentedly insights into ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a hidden topological structure within one of the most widely used sources of quantum entanglement.

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics.

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

My academic path studying physics at Tsinghua University began in 1981 where I completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s before earning a PhD in 1992. I then did a postdoc at the Central Iron & Steel ...

This, in turn, altered the configuration of the orbitals to achieve the half-Möbius configuration that the researchers were ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...
