As the nucleus splits, it also releases its neutrons. These neutrons bounce around at incredible speeds until some eventually collide with other nuclei. This sets off a chain reaction as each ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John Martinis built an electrical circuit-based oscillator on a microchip.

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

Nobel Prize winners show how superconducting circuits can exhibit quantum behavior, leading to transformative technologies.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics goes to three scientists who made electrical circuits act like atoms - an experiment which lies at the heart of our quantum future.

Discover the groundbreaking work of John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis in the field of quantum physics. Learn how they built real-world circuits that behave like quantum beings and ...

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics honors a trio whose 1980s experiments made quantum circuits—and today’s quantum computers—possible.

Quantum mechanics is everywhere, from powering the phone you’re reading this on to the galaxies that are formed with colliding stars, everything has to be understood at a molecular level that is based ...

According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Prize in Physics was to go to "the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics." The prize has been ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured “ultraweak” photon emissions from living organisms. In rats this glow fades rapidly after death. In plants it brightens under stress. In the ...
