Physicists from the group of Jorik van de Groep at the UvA-Institute of Physics have devised a new method that...
Researchers at the University of Basel have shown that quantum systems can have antagonistic interactions, too—one agent attracts the other,...
Many science fiction authors try to incorporate scientific principles into their work, but Ian Tregillis, who is a contributing author...
Computers also make mistakes. These are usually suppressed by technical measures or detected and corrected during the calculation. In quantum...
While entangled photons hold incredible promise for quantum computing and communications, they have a major inherent disadvantage. After one use,...
Exponential growth in big data and computing power is transforming climate science, where machine learning is playing a critical role...
Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping in an unexpected place. These bursts of plasma, called chorus...
Molecules haven’t been used in quantum computing, even though they have the potential to make the ultra-high-speed experimental technology even...
Topological insulators (TIs) are among the hottest topics in condensed matter physics today. They’re a bit strange: Their surfaces conduct...

During the last century, biologists have extensively studied Drosophila melanogaster, the common household fruit fly. It’s become one of the...
The next generation of atomic clocks “ticks” with the frequency of a laser. This is about 100,000 times faster than...
