A Majorana fermion is a particle that would be identical to its antiparticle. Such an object has not yet been found. However, ...

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have reported important progress in quantum physics and materials ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Superconductivity occurs when electrical current moves without resistance, a phenomenon that gave rise to particle accelerators, magnetic resonance imagining machines and trains ...

Quantum computers, which operate leveraging quantum mechanics phenomena, could eventually tackle some optimization and ...

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) constitute a platform to explore various quantum effects. Their size-dependent colors are essentially a naked-eye, ambient-condition visualization of the quantum ...

From smartphones to supercomputers, almost all our daily electronics run on the flow of "electron charge." But did you know?

New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...

Spin glasses might turn out to be the most useful useless things ever discovered. These materials — which are typically made of metal, not glass — exhibit puzzling behaviors that captivated a small ...
