Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

For quantum computers to outperform their classical counterparts, they need more quantum bits, or qubits. State-of-the-art quantum computers have around 1,000 qubits. Columbia physicists Sebastian ...

It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself ...

The most precise clocks ever built are now testing Einstein, hunting dark matter, and reshaping how we define time itself. In ...

A new chart for highly charged ions (HCIs) has been proposed, aiming to replicate the conventional periodic table’s ...

This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- As the movie "Oppenheimer" continues to march firmly towards $1 billion in the global box office revenue, it shouldn't surprise anyone to learn that Pittsburgh had a hand in the ...

Atomic bombs work via a process called nuclear fission that involves atom splitting. Shortly after scientists discovered nuclear fission, the possibility of a bomb was quickly realized. Albert ...
