5+ hour, 10+ min ago   (434+ words) A tiny chip that produces a precisely organized “rainbow” of light could help enable faster, higher-capacity 6G communications and more precise timing for quantum technologies....

5+ hour, 45+ min ago   (416+ words) Separate time crystals inside a semiconductor can “find” each other across surprising distances and lock into the same rhythm. Researchers at TU Dortmund University demonstrated the effect using a semiconductor system in which electron and nuclear spins form continuous time…...

1+ day, 23+ hour ago   (720+ words) Experiments and theoretical analysis show that under extreme magnetic fields, electrons in zirconium pentatelluride behave in an unusual way that points to a topological origin rather than interactions among many particles. Under magnetic fields strong enough to push electrons toward…...

1+ day, 23+ hour ago   (350+ words) An experiment by researchers at the University of California San Diego and TU Wien has revealed a new quantum regime that generates coherent X-rays at higher energies than conventional rules predict. That returning electron can generate light at frequencies far…...

3+ day, 9+ hour ago   (541+ words) Researchers worldwide are working to develop quantum systems for sensing, communications, computing, and control that could outperform today’s technologies. A major challenge is creating quantum states that are stable, measurable, and easy to distinguish, since these states are the foundation…...

3+ day, 10+ hour ago   (497+ words) The microscopic magnetic flips behind digital memory could soon use thousands of times less energy, offering a new way to shrink AI’s rapidly growing power footprint. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have now developed a mathematical framework designed to…...

4+ day, 9+ hour ago   (371+ words) Electronic fluctuations can act as a resonant bridge between normally separate crystal vibrations, offering a new route to study and control ferroaxial quantum states. The researchers studied a layered material that forms an unusual quantum state at room temperature. In…...

5+ day, 14+ hour ago   (741+ words) There may be a gap between how people believe decisions are made and what actually happens inside the brain, according to Indiana University professor Tom James. For decades, both scientific theories and everyday thinking have treated decision-making as a separate…...

6+ day, 6+ hour ago   (352+ words) A new study suggests the atmosphere may retain enough information for weather to remain theoretically predictable for roughly 129 days under ideal conditions. How far into the future could weather ever be predicted, even if forecasters knew the atmosphere perfectly? Meteorologists…...

1+ week, 14+ hour ago   (455+ words) Optical measurements can reveal the hidden collective motion and quantum dynamics of electrons inside a Wigner crystal. Unlike an ordinary crystal, the ordering of a Wigner crystal does not come from the structure of the surrounding material. Instead, it emerges…...
