Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

Physicists finally identified why some quantum materials seemingly lose their electrical conductivity for no reason.

The experiment at CERN produced pairs of electron and positron beams, propagating into an ambient plasma. The international team of researchers found that the beams were narrow and nearly parallel, ...

An international team of researchers has investigated an unusual finding of quantum oscillations, a phenomenon in which electrons behave like springs within a magnetic field, occurring in the ...

Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc. said it will go public through a merger with Crane Harbor Acquisition Corp., a US special-purpose acquisition company, in a deal that values the combined business at ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental ingredients of the universe, including 4D spacetime, particles with specific ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional ...

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the ...

That means they help fight free radicals—harmful molecules that damage cells and are linked to aging and brain diseases. CACQDs also stop certain harmful proteins from sticking together in the brain.
