Quantum Breakthrough: New Algorithm Solves “Impossible” Materials in Seconds
A new computational method reveals a faster way to explore intricate quantum systems, pointing toward emerging applications in…
Extreme gravity leaves lasting marks on movement and energy use
Gravity feels constant, almost invisible. It holds oceans in place and keeps us grounded, so we rarely question…
New shield material thinner than a strand of hair, but blocks both cosmic electromagnetic waves and radiation
A 3D-printed, ultra-thin, lightweight, high-performance shielding material comprised of two nanotubes has proven effective as a shield against…
Oxford team achieves advanced quantum squeezing with trapped ion
For the first time in quantum physics, Oxford researchers have demonstrated quadsqueezing, a complex fourth-order quantum interaction. The…
This penguin-inspired film can heat, cool and block signals on demand
A white roof cools, a black surface heats. Engineers have treated these as fixed, opposite solutions to managing…
US scientists find how dry ice can alter quantum states of hydrogen
Scientists at the University of Maryland have successfully demonstrated the control of the nuclear spin of a hydrogen…
Scientists fine-tune molecular flow in nanoreactors to boost performance
Conventional intuition suggests that the most efficient way to accelerate a chemical reaction is to give reactants unhindered…
Decades-long physics mystery may have been an illusion all along
A long-suspected crack in particle physics was a calculation problem, not a broken law of nature, according to…
Oxford scientists create rare quantum effect 100 times faster than expected
For the first time in quantum physics, Oxford researchers have demonstrated quadsqueezing, a complex fourth-order quantum interaction. The…
A Nearly Invisible Energy From Dark Matter Could Explain How the First Black Holes Formed So Fast
A new study suggests that decaying dark matter may have helped create the universe’s first supermassive black holes…
