In a below-ground lab off Fitch Street, Maggie Blanchard is working with fellow SCSU students to study how fuel cells degrade -- and to help keep Connecticut on the cutting edge of "quantum." On ...

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: ...

MIT physicists have built a powerful new microscope that uses terahertz light to uncover hidden quantum motions inside ...

One of the striking aspects of the quantum world is that a particle, say, an electron, is also a wave, meaning that it exists in many places at the same time. Researchers make use of this property to ...

The QDM is a fantastic and easy-to-use tool that can access length-scales and sensitivity of measurement that were previously inaccessible.” — Dr. James Bryson, Assistant Professor of Mineralogy at ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. Scientists can now reliably chill ...

Oh, the wonderful and mind-twisting world of quantum mechanics. However, in order to harness the magic-like potential of bending qubits to one’s will, there is a whole lot of nitty gritty engineering ...

In new research published this week in Nature, Weizmann Institute scientists introduce a powerful tool to explore quantum phenomena — the cryogenic Quantum Twisting Microscope (QTM). Using this ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, along with other scientists, are taking small steps to create materials that could ...

The QTM involves the “twisting,” or rotating, of two atomically-thin layers of material with respect to one another. In recent years, such twisting has become a major source of discoveries. It began ...

One of the striking aspects of the quantum world is that a particle, say, an electron, is also a wave, meaning that it exists in many places at the same time. In a new study, reported today in Nature, ...
