A multinational research team, including engineers from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University, has developed a breakthrough in miniaturized spectrometer technology that could dramatically expand the accessibility ...
Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave differently depending on ...
Caltech scientists have found a fast and efficient way to add up large numbers of Feynman diagrams, the simple drawings physicists use to represent particle interactions. The new method has already enabled the researchers ...
Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schr枚dinger's cat analogy, and ability to slip through ...
Over the past few years, researchers have developed various quantum technologies, alternatives to classical devices that operate by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics. These technologies have the potential to ...
With the ability to detect and amplify extremely weak electromagnetic signals without adding additional noise, masers have many potential uses, including the production of more sensitive magnetic resonance body scanners, ...
For decades, scientists have looked to light as a way to speed up computing. Photonic neural networks鈥攕ystems that use light instead of electricity to process information鈥攑romise faster speeds and lower energy use than ...
Excitons鈥攂ound pairs of electrons and an electron hole鈥攁re quasiparticles that can arise in solids. While so-called "bright" excitons emit light and are therefore accessible, dark excitons are optically inactive. As a ...
Twisted materials鈥攌nown as moir茅 structures鈥攈ave revolutionized modern physics, emerging as today's "alchemy" by creating entirely new phases of matter through simple geometric manipulation. The term "moir茅" may sound ...
Many displays found in smartphones and televisions rely on thin-film transistors (TFTs) made from indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) to control pixels. IGZO offers high transparency due to its large bandgap (the gap existing ...
