A hidden quantum wave may keep particles moving, even when everything else freezes. Researchers discovered that phasons, a ...

The arrangement of small molecules—known as ligands—around transition metal atoms affects how the metal atoms behave. This is important because transition metals are used as catalysts in the synthesis ...

I began graduate study in 1975, the midpoint of the first 100 years of quantum mechanics, 50 years ago and 50 years after the ...

Pasqal, a French quantum computing startup, has integrated its neutral-atom quantum processors into Microsoft's Azure Quantum cloud service, marking a significant advancement in cloud-based quantum ...

Physicists at Washington University have forged ahead in the field of quantum mechanics by creating a new phase of matter ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

A solid-state nuclear clock has a great potential to become a robust and portable timing device that is highly precise.
