A new federally funded study by researchers at Duke University and the University of Pennsylvania offers an unprecedented ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron ...

Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new neuromorphic hardware, systems that mirror the organization of neurons in the human brain. These systems could run ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

The Signal Path] shows us how to recreate a classic science experiment to measure the weight of an electron. Things are ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a ...

Researchers in Australia have unveiled the largest quantum simulation platform built to date, opening a new route to exploring the complex behavior of quantum materials at unprecedented scales.

Iridium oxide is one of the most important—and most problematic—materials in the global push toward clean energy. It is ...

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...
