A technology once feared too error-prone to underlie a quantum computer is hitting the big time.

The short answer is; no. We will never see atoms using visible light, simply because the wavelength of visible light (around 400 to 700 nanometers) is larger than the size of an atom (around 0.1 to ...

The findings, published in Optics Letters, mark a crucial step in advancing the understanding of quantum systems and their ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays - without the ...

Beryllium-10, a rare radioactive isotope produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere, provides valuable insights into the Earth ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a groundbreaking method to transform graphite into materials with ...

A new way to measure the temperatures of objects by studying the effect of their black-body radiation on Rydberg atoms has ...

Quantum calculations amount to sophisticated estimates. But in 1931, Hans Bethe intuited precisely how a chain of particles ...

Researchers from the University of British Columbia in Canada, the University of Washington and Johns Hopkins University in the US, and the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan recently ...

Can copper be turned into gold? For centuries, alchemists pursued this dream, unaware that such a transformation requires a nuclear reaction. In contrast, graphite—the material found in pencil ...
