Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the center of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light scattered by the ...

It may sound like an oxymoron, but this massive nanoparticle made up of 7,000 sodium atoms is the largest to exhibit such ...

Athought experiment at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally ...

Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

Quantum computers are alternative computing devices that process information, leveraging quantum mechanical effects, such as ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...
