Scientists have achieved a historic first using lasers to study electron behaviour, revealing new insights into how light ...

Carbon forms the graphite in pencils, the diamonds in jewelry and the molecules that make up every living thing. But under ...

A new quantum system called giant superatoms could protect quantum information and enable entanglement between multiple qubits. The concept merges giant atoms and superatoms to improve stability and ...

Physicists in China have demonstrated that a structure called an optical metasurface can individually trap up to 78,400 ...

Researchers at Chongqing University and Chongqing Normal University report a theoretical prediction of a new quantum phase of ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only under specific conditions that researchers have struggled for decades to ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.) Since the prize announcement, cheers and excitement have surrounded the home ...

The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for their work looking at electrons in atoms in split-second moments. Hans Ellegren, the ...
