NCCR SPIN focuses on creating scalable spin qubits in semiconductor nanostructures made of silicon and germanium, with the ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete ...

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 ...

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 ...

This article was produced in partnership with the author by Scientific American Custom Media, a commercial division separate from the magazine’s board of editors. The temperature dependence of the ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly ...

An international team led by the University of Oxford has identified one of the largest rotating structures ever reported: a ...

Researchers at RPTU create hybrid spin sound waves that could lead to adjustable 6G frequency filters and smarter microwave ...

Whipping his racquet through the air like a cesta in jai alai, Rafael Nadal produces such tremendous topspin that the ball sometimes seems to catapult off the court, creating a shot as challenging to ...
