The adage goes “like mother like daughter,” and in the case of Irene Joliot-Curie, truer words were never spoken. She...
Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough to control the metal’s...
Researchers from The University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a novel computational framework that addresses...
Atoms in crystalline solids sometimes vibrate in unison, giving rise to emergent phenomena known as phonons. Because these collective vibrations...
Understanding what happens inside a material when it is hit by ultrashort light pulses is one of the great challenges...
Researchers at Seoul National University and Kyung Hee University report a framework to control collective motions, such as ring, clumps,...
One often-repeated example illustrates the mind-boggling potential of quantum computing: A machine with 300 quantum bits could simultaneously store more...
Gravitational-wave detection technology is poised to make a big leap forward thanks to an instrumentation advance led by physicist Jonathan...
Even at a distance of 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) away, activity on the Sun can have adverse effects...
Quantum physics often reveals phenomena that defy common sense. A new theory of quantum scarring deepens our understanding of the...
In quantum mechanics, particles such as electrons act like waves and can even interfere with themselves—a striking and counterintuitive feature...
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, together with international collaborators, have developed a new electron microscopy method that has...
