Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

The true danger isn't just that quantum computers will read our emails. It's that they'll fundamentally change what's ...

Quantum effects are fundamental in shaping the behaviour of molecular systems, from modifying reaction pathways to influencing physical properties. At the molecular scale, classical theories are often ...

Interactions between electrons in solids often lead to effects that go beyond simple, intuitive pictures of what should be possible. One example stems from the Hall effect, which describes how the ...

Quantum technologies are systems that leverage quantum mechanical effects to perform computations, share information or ...

Image: a scanning electron microscope micrograph of a strongly crumpled graphene sheet on a silicon wafer. The lateral size of the image is 20 microns. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Using the highest magnetic ...

A single molecule can trigger and tune the Kondo effect, challenging long-held physics assumptions and offering new paths for molecular electronics and quantum devices. The Kondo effect occurs when ...

In 1965, British mathematician Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture, a concept that suggests that singularities — regions where gravity is so strong that the fabric of spacetime ...

By building an atomic equivalent of the critical Josephson junction, scientists can now study how energy is lost and excitations form.

What if your conscious experiences were not just the chatter of neurons, but were connected to the hum of the universe? In a ...

Devices could eliminate the strong magnetic fields currently required to define the standard unit of resistance ...
