Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

For a child diagnosed with neuroblastoma—the most common infant cancer, occurring when early nerve cells grow out of control—the path to treatment isn't simple. Some types of neuroblastoma resolve on ...

Quasicrystals couldn't be simulated with quantum mechanics because of their irregular atomic patterns. A new method overcomes this challenge. (Nanowerk News) A rare and bewildering intermediate ...

Time feels familiar. It marks every moment of daily life, from the ticking of a wall clock to the changing numbers on a ...

Classical computations rely on binary bits, which can be in either of the two states, 0 or 1. In contrast, quantum computing is based on qubits, which can be 0, 1, or a superposition or entanglement ...

In research inspired by the principles of quantum mechanics, researchers from Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) and the University of Oxford reveal new findings to understand why the human brain is able ...

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is an extreme nonlinear process arising from the interaction of strong field laser pulses with atoms and molecules in the gaseous phase. When the correct phase ...

Nanoscopic systems exhibit diverse molecular substructures by which they facilitate specific functions. Theoretical models of them, which aim at describing, understanding, and predicting these ...

There is more than one way to describe a water molecule, especially when communicating with a machine learning (ML) model, says chemist Robert DiStasio. You can feed the algorithm the molecule's ...

Quantum materials are a class of exotic materials with special properties that are governed by quantum mechanics rather than ...

A rare and bewildering intermediate between crystal and glass can be the most stable arrangement for some combinations of atoms, according to a study from the University of Michigan. The findings come ...
