Fossil-fueled electrical grid’s enormous water use is often overlooked
Electricity-generating rooftop solar cells not only save on planet-warming carbon emissions, they also save a significant amount of water, say a pair of Duke University researchers who have done the math.
To solve a long-standing puzzle about how long a neutron can “live” outside an atomic nucleus, physicists entertained a wild but testable theory positing the existence of a right-handed version of our left-handed universe.
A thin device triggers one of quantum mechanics’ strangest and most useful phenomena
Research shows that spinning quasiparticles, or magnons, light up when paired with a light-emitting quasiparticle, or exciton, with potential quantum information applications.
Design principle could guide search for metals with immutable quantum states
Researchers looking to synthesize a brighter and more stable nanoparticle for optical applications found that their creation instead exhibited a more surprising property
Glass nanoparticles show unexpected coupling when levitated with laser light
Be it magnets or superconductors: materials are known for their various properties.
Suppression of a telltale sign of quark-gluon interactions presented as evidence of multiple scatterings and gluon recombination in dense walls of gluons
Researchers from RIKEN in Japan have achieved a major step toward large-scale quantum computing by demonstrating error correction in a three-qubit silicon-based quantum computing system.
New Curtin University-led research has found a more effective way to improve the output of autonomous power sources, such as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), commonly used to power vital mining equipment in remote or underground locations where power points and batteries are not practical.
Design from the Swager Lab uses electronic polymers, rather than colored lines, to indicate a positive response, enabling quantitative monitoring of biomarkers.
How do you bring together two molecules that positively repel each other?
An international team led by LMU physicist Harald Weinfurter has successfully implemented an advanced form of quantum cryptography for the first time. Encryption is more secure against hacking attempts.
Quantum clocks are shrinking, thanks to new technologies developed at the University of Birmingham-led UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing.
For decades computers have been synonymous with binary information – zeros and ones.
Made from inexpensive, abundant materials, an aluminum-sulfur battery could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources.
Physics connects seismic data to properties of rocks and sediments
Mathematical modeling speeds up the process of programming bacterial systems to self-assemble into desired 2D shapes.
