Researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, private companies, and academic institutions are developing the first space-based

This past year was a busy one, with new policy changes, cybersecurity challenges, EHR optimization advancements, innovations in patient care and, yes, a whole lot of AI.

But don't dust off the DeLorean quite yet.

The lunar exosphere contains alkali metals and is constantly replenished by micrometeorite impact.

The NASA astronauts who became the first people to land on the moon's surface in the 1960s and 1970s also discovered a previously unknown lunar...

By blowing atoms up to several hundred times their size, researchers have been able to make another type of oddly-behaving time crystal.

It's a "big deal" to demonstrate entangled quantum networks outside a lab

This week, we reported on the birth throes of black holes, the questionable assertions of a study about vegan dogs and a technique for observing entanglement without breaking quantum coherence.

Strange quantum characteristics of molecules can weather the chaos of chemical reactions, which may benefit quantum technologies or unveil hidden natural phenomena

A quantum computer built by QuEra contains the largest ever number of "logical quantum bits", which can be used for error-free calculations

Electronic nematic order in kagome materials has thus far been entangled with charge density waves. Now it is finally observed as a stand-alone phase in a titanium-based Kagome metal, a team of researchers led by Boston College physicists reported recently in Nature Physics.

A vacuum chamber is never perfectly empty. A small number of atoms or molecules always remain, and measuring the tiny pressures they exert is critical. For instance, semiconductor manufacturers create microchips in vacuum chambers that must be almost entirely devoid of atomic and molecular contaminants, and so they need to monitor the gas pressure in the chamber to ensure that the contaminant levels are acceptably…

Students at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw (UW) and researchers from the QOT Center for Quantum Optical Technologies have developed an innovative method that allows the fractional Fourier Transform of optical pulses to be performed using quantum memory. This achievement is unique on the global scale, as the team was the first to present an experimental implementation of the said transformation…

The extraordinary find is the heaviest element ever detected in an exoplanet's atmosphere.

Researchers have discovered a way to "translate" quantum information between different kinds of quantum technologies, with significant implications for quantum computing, communication, and networking.

Scientists who have thrown a single atom from one pair of optical tweezers to another say that the feat could be used to build better quantum computers.

Dramatic advances in quantum computing, smartphones that only need to be charged once a month, trains that levitate and move at superfast speeds. Technological leaps like these could revolutionize society, but they remain largely out of reach as long as superconductivity—the flow of electricity without resistance or energy waste—isn't fully understood.

The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made.

The energy of the vacuum should have a gravitational effect on large atoms. But physicists' attempts to measure it have puzzlingly come up empty.
