Scientists Study Roaming Molecules in the Quantum Realm to Reveal Hidden Behaviors of Chemical Reactions

Scientists are now one step closer to better understanding how to live in a "quantum" world -; and not just from watching the character "Ant-Man" in the Marvel movie franchise.

New Super Fast Battery Follows the Laws of Quantum Physics

Quantum batteries are a new class of energy storage devices that operate according to the principles of quantum physics, the science that studies the infinitely small where the laws of classical physics do not always apply.

Quantum Batteries Could Become a Reality by Applying the Concept of Superabsorption

Researchers at the University of Adelaide and their overseas partners have taken a key step in making quantum batteries a reality. They have successfully proved the concept of superabsorption, a crucial idea underpinning quantum batteries.

Researchers Develop a Graphene-Based Platform Capable of Studying Quantum Condensates

Electrons flowing through power lines and computers inevitably encounter resistance; when they do, they lose some of their energy, which dissipates as heat.

Rice Physicist Wins CAREER Award to Study Quantum Entanglement

Rice University physicist Guido Pagano has won a prestigious CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to study quantum entanglement and develop new error-correcting tools for quantum computation.

Too Much Heavy Metal Stops Stars Producing

Stars are giant factories that produce most of the elements in the Universe – including the elements in us, and in the Earth’s metal deposits. But what stars produce changes over time.

A Fully Equivariant Framework for Learning Properties of N atoms and Molecular Hamiltonians

In the fields of chemistry and materials, most successful, widely used machine learning schemes introduced over the last decade aim to model molecular energies or interatomic potentials.

Study Opens New Avenue for Exploring Gauge Field-Induced Topological Physics

Gauge fields describe the basic interactions between charged particles and are responsible for various emergent topological phases of matter. This concept recently has been further generalized to charge neutral systems by engineering an analog Hamiltonian that governs the effective dynamics of neutral particles subject to magnetic fields.

Physicists Detect a Hybrid Particle Held Together by Uniquely Intense “Glue”

In the particle world, sometimes two is better than one. Take, for instance, electron pairs. When two electrons are bound together, they can glide through a material without friction, giving the material special superconducting properties.

Astronomers Capture the Striking End to a Red Supergiant’s Life

For the first time in history, astronomers have imaged in real-time the striking end to a red supergiant’s life — looking at the massive star’s quick self-destruction and eventual death throes before falling into a type II supernova.
