Scientists have conducted laboratory experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) that provide new insights on the complex process of...
A team of scientists from Ohio University, Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Illinois-Chicago, and others, led by Ohio University...
Whether it’s baking a cake, building a house, or developing a quantum device, the quality of the end product significantly...
Electron microscopes give us insight into the tiniest details of materials and can visualize, for example, the structure of solids,...
Atomic clocks are the world’s most precise timekeepers. Based on periodic transitions between two electronic states of an atom, they...
A laser pulse hits an electron in a solid. If it receives enough energy from the light wave, it can...
Despite their immense promise to solve new kinds of problems, today’s quantum computers are inherently prone to error. A small...
When Thomas Hertog was first summoned to Stephen Hawking’s office in the late 1990s, there was an instant connection between...
Earth’s magnetic field, generated by the flow of molten iron in the planet’s inner core, extends out into space and...
Physicists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have published the first observation of directed flow of...
Miniaturization is progressing rapidly in many fields, and the trend toward the creation of ever smaller units is also prevalent...
Excitations in solids can also be represented mathematically as quasiparticles; for example, lattice vibrations that increase with temperature can be...
