New research using data from NASA's Van Allen Probes mission and FIREBIRD II CubeSat has shown that a common plasma wave in space is likely responsible for the…
The gas composition of a planet's atmosphere generally determines how much heat gets trapped in the atmosphere. For the dwarf planet Pluto, however, the…
Physicists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) and Royal Holloway, University of London, have demonstrated an effect known as quantum…
Scrapbooks or social networks are collections of mostly unsorted data. The search for single elements in very large data volumes, i.e. for the needle in the…
Today, astronomers have a pretty accurate idea of how stars were formed in the recent cosmic past. But do these laws also apply to older galaxies? For around a…
Qubits, or quantum bits, are the key building blocks that lie at the heart of every quantum computer. In order to perform a computation, signals need to be…
The ability to trap and control electrons and other quasi-particles for the study of isolated single particles as well as many-body systems in a solid-state…
Researchers from the Physics Department of Moscow State University and their colleagues have discovered a mechanism that allows gas sensors, based on…
The trick is to be able to use beryllium atoms in gallium nitride. Gallium nitride is a compound widely used in semiconductors in consumer electronics from LED…
In its final years of operation, a particle collider in Northern California was refocused to search for signs of new particles that might help fill in some big…
Imagine a miniature device that suffuses each room in your house with a different hue of the rainbow–purple for the living room, perhaps, blue for the…
The projects on designing elements of a quantum computer and ultra-precise atomic clock based on trapped ultracold atoms and ions are being discussed. The…
The method, which has not yet been demonstrated experimentally, essentially would speed up the process of quantum entanglement in which the properties of…
In the past decade, a new type of material has attracted raising attraction: the so-called topological insulator. This class of materials exhibits a very…
“Not many real metamaterial devices have been developed,” says Elena Semouchkina, an associate professor of electrical engineering at Michigan Technological…
Future quantum computers will be able to solve problems where conventional computers fail today. We are still far away from any large-scale implementation,…
