Teleportation is possible, it just depends on scale
Using the principles of quantum mechanics, scientists unlock incredible computing powers, data storage, transmission, and encryption, one experiment at a time.
The world’s smallest motor
If your engine has more than 16 atoms, you’re just wasting space.
X-ray fingerprints of novel photocathode materials: A new route for theory and experiment to join hands
X‐ray absorption spectroscopy represents a valuable characterization tool for complex materials like multialkali antimonides.
The temperature of the elements
An unexpected link between two entirely different fields of physics.
Pioneers in Science: Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen
This edition of Pioneers in Science celebrates physicist Wilhelm Röntgen, winner of the 1901 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of “a new kind of ray”.
Pioneers in Science: Katherine Johnson
In honor of the UN’s International Day of Women in Science, this week we highlight Katherine Johnson, pioneering mathematician and NASA legend.
Octopus suckers inspire soft robotic arms
The remarkably agile arms of the octopus are a source of inspiration for the design of autonomous robots. With nearly two-thirds of their neurons residing in the eight arms, these appendages are able to sense and respond to environmental conditions with little to no...
Computational electromagnetics: Know your tools for they shape our future
Clarifying some of the misconceptions, limitations, and capabilities of CEM modelling to help researchers find the right tools for their needs.
Exploring the “dark side” of a single-crystal complex oxide thin film
Analysis reveals never-before-seen details about a type of thin film being explored for advanced microelectronics.
A closer look at the functional properties of ferroelectric capacitors
A recent study seeks to identify, understand, and solve issues surrounding the integration of ferro/piezo-electric materials with silicon technology.
Researchers Build a Particle Accelerator That Fits On a Chip
Just as desktop PCs acquired some of the functions performed by room-sized mainframes, a Stanford team has prototyped a silicon chip that packs some of the punch delivered by current particle accelerators.
