The latest optical atomic clocks use faster atoms such as ytterbium, which tick up to 100 trillion times per second. However, their stability has been restricted by quantum noise, ...

Our readers agree that in the unlikely event you were able to approach a neutron star, it would look very smooth and bright ...

Every time you check the time on your phone, make an online transaction, or use a navigation app, you are depending on the ...

A memory chip just 10 atoms thick has been tested in a lab and integrated into conventional chips, demonstrating a technology ...

For decades, it's been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter—or that they got erased during manufacturing. However, recent ...

Some of these villains are so powerful that they could alone defeat all the X-Men and, on multiple occasions, have threatened to wipe out all of humanity. With villains like these, it’s a miracle that ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis demonstrated quantum tunneling in an electrical circuit, with ...

It is the 119th time the prize has been awarded. Last year, artificial intelligence pioneers John Hopfield and Geoffrey ...

Understanding the relationship between moles and atoms is an essential part of studying chemistry. In this article, we will explain how to calculate the number of atoms in a given sample if you know ...

The team achieved a record-breaking coherence time of 12.6 seconds—the longest ever for hyperfine qubits in an optical ...

Researchers kept more than 6,000 qubits coherent while operating with 99.98% accuracy. Here's why that matters for quantum ...
