Time crystals are a strange state of matter with properties that sound impossible, but they have been created. Now, German scientists have made one that lasts 10 million times longer than in previous experiments.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, Scien… Continue reading Bizarre time crystal oscillates for an unprecedented 40 minutes
You can cram much more quantum processing power into a given space if you use four different ways to store data on a single atom, according to new research. The method unlocks more powerful quantum computers that are easier to control.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Quad-storage method writes data to a single atom in four different ways
Whether it was in your shoelaces or earbud cables, we’ve all accidentally tied knots that we can’t untangle – but we don’t expect to win any world records with them. Now scientists have done exactly that, accidentally tying the world’s smallest and tightest knot in a tiny structure made of just 54 atoms.

Scientists have found that a “superatomic” material is the fastest and most efficient semiconductor ever. Taking advantage of a tortoise-and-hare mechanism, the new material can transport energy much faster than silicon.Continue ReadingCategory: Electr… Continue reading “Superatomic” material beats silicon for fastest semiconductor ever
The Royal Swedish Academy of Science has awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for work that’s “given humanity new tools for exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules.”Continue R… Continue reading 2023 Nobel Prize for Physics recognizes work to measure electrons

Scientists at the University of Chicago have detected the first evidence of a phenomenon called “quantum superchemistry.” Long predicted but never confirmed, this effect could speed up chemical reactions, give scientists more control over them, and inf… Continue reading “Quantum superchemistry” observed in lab experiments for first time
To make the United States self-sufficient in rare exotic elements, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed a latest generation electromagnetic isotope separator (EMIS) to harvest stable isotopes across the entire periodic table.Continue … Continue reading Next-gen separator harvests rare stable isotopes from heavier elements
Scientists in South Korea have created what they call “the world’s smallest ball game,” throwing individual atoms between two optical traps. The research could eventually make for more adaptable and dynamic quantum computers.Continue ReadingCategory: S… Continue reading “World’s smallest ball game” tosses single atoms between light traps
