Building large-scale quantum technologies requires reliable ways to connect individual quantum bits (qubits) without ...

Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported the first ...

Time crystals are a strange state of matter with properties that sound impossible, but they have been created. Now, German scientists have made one that lasts 10 million times longer than in previous ...

Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at Florida State University, that picture has just been shattered by a new ...

Researchers created a strange quantum crystal from a material found in smartphones—the first of its kind visible to the naked eye. Reading time 2 minutes Of all the eccentricities of the quantum realm ...

Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...

A recent study published in Nature Materials examined how machine learning is used to reveal the atomic mechanisms of argyrodites, which could open the doors for a new age of energy storage. This is ...

In general, when you measure material properties such as optical permittivity, your measurement doesn’t depend on the direction in which you make it. However, recent research has shown that this is ...
