Scientists have linked nuclear spins inside silicon chips, marking a leap toward scalable quantum computers. Engineers at UNSW have achieved a major breakthrough in quantum computing by creating what ...

This article explores how our understanding of the universe has evolved—from the scale of everyday experience down to the Planck length ...

Quantum computers differ from classical ones because their basic units of information, qubits, can exist in two states at once.

You know how every luxury SUV these days seems to come with a German accent, a brochure thicker than a Tolstoy novel, and a price tag that makes you wonder if you accidentally bought the dealership?

Initial images were messy because the faint signals from tin and silicon were overwhelmed by strong germanium signals. To fix this, the researchers added an energy-filtering device that improved ...

A team led by Berkeley and GWU working with the U of A's Center for Manipulation of Atomic Ordering for Manufacturing Semiconductors confirmed that atoms in semiconductors arrange themselves in ...

Inside the microchips powering the device you're reading this on, the atoms have a hidden order all their own. A team led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and George Washington ...

The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

These chains come in a wide range of lengths. In humans a typical protein is about 400 amino acids long; some are a lot longer. Molecules of RNA, one of the two nucleic acids, can reach up to 100,000 ...

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

Graphene's journey from discovery to industrial use has been marked by impressive progress. It was first discovered in 2004, when Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov isolated graphene by mechanical ...

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...
