Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated ...

Quantum computing technology is complex, getting off the ground and maturing. There is promise of things to come. potentially ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have trapped a single plutonium atom inside a tiny molecular cage, using only six micrograms of the radioactive metal. The work turns an element ...

“Einstein and Bohr would have never thought that this is possible, to perform such an experiment with single atoms and single photons,” said Wolfgang Ketterle, head of the MIT group whose new ...

A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

Defining Advanced Materials Science So, what exactly is advanced materials science? It’s not just about making stronger ...

Investigating Quantum Interactions in Materials It’s pretty wild when you start thinking about how materials actually work ...

Optical quantum computing is regularly referred to as ‘photonic quantum computing’. This technology harnesses photons as qubits, which are the basic units of quantum information.

Researchers from The University of Osaka have identified a novel design method for photonic circuitry used in quantum computers, potentially promoting ...

Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties.
