Projected growth in rocket launches for space tourism, moon landings, and perhaps travel to Mars has many dreaming of a...
Flashes of what may become a transformative new technology are coursing through a network of optic fibers under Chicago. Researchers...
James Vary has been waiting for nuclear physics experiments to confirm the reality of a “tetraneutron” that he and his...
Quantum sensors, which detect the most minute variations in magnetic or electrical fields, have enabled precision measurements in materials science...
To human eyes, the night sky between the stars appears dark, the void of space. But X-ray telescopes capture a...
Physicists at The Australian National University (ANU) have developed tiny translucent slides capable of producing two very different images by...
Optics researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have shown for the first time that a new method for...
A quantum simulator at Rice University is giving physicists a clear look at spin-charge separation, the quantum world’s version of...
Qubits are a basic building block for quantum computers, but they’re also notoriously fragile—tricky to observe without erasing their information...
Watch for the patterns created as the circles move across each other. Those patterns, created by two sets of lines...
Lasers use coherent waves of light: All the light inside a laser vibrates completely in sync. Meanwhile, quantum mechanics tells...
