The technique uncovers fluctuations that are beyond the reach of existing instruments and provides key insight into materials ...

In 1937, US physicist Isidor Rabi introduced a simple model to describe how atoms emit and absorb particles of light. Until now, this model had still not been completely explained. In a recent paper, ...

In Juy, Mikhail Lukin at Harvard University announced they had a 51 quantum bit simulator. Quantum simulators are used to model the minute behavior of molecules, and could help study how drugs act ...

(Nanowerk News) How hard do you have to pull on a single atom of—let’s say—gold to detach it from the end of a chain of like atoms?* It’s a measure of the astonishing progress in nanotechnology that ...

Quantum entanglement—once dismissed by Albert Einstein as “spooky action at a distance”—has long captured the public imagination and puzzled even seasoned scientists. But for today’s quantum ...

A team of researchers have developed a new silicon construction technique that could potentially improve the affordability and reliability of building quantum computers. The new technique -- jointly ...

Scientists have captured the first ever footage of atoms bonding at a scale around half a million times smaller than the width of a human hair. Using advanced microscopy methods, the team of UK and ...

In industrial pipes, mineral deposits build up the way limescale collects inside a kettle ⎯ only on a far larger and more ...
