Theoretical modelling explores the movement of atoms within a liquid nanodroplet of platinum that is confined inside a defect in a carbon support. The colours represent the mobility of the atoms: ...

Some atoms in a liquid stay fixed even at high temperatures, reshaping how solidification starts and enabling an unusual corralled supercooled liquid state. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have discovered ...

Twisted materials—known as moiré structures—have revolutionized modern physics, emerging as today's "alchemy" by creating entirely new phases of matter through simple geometric manipulation. The term ...

Microsoft’s Majorana 1 chip contains eight topological qubits. John Brecher for Microsoft While traditional computing currently relies on bits, quantum computing utilizes qubits—a unit of information ...

The film explores the relationship between matter and energy in the universe, explaining how matter exists in different states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. It discusses the kinetic molecular ...

Microsoft today said its new quantum chip is the first to be powered by a new Topological Core architecture that “will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale ...

Rapid advances in applying artificial intelligence to simulations in physics and chemistry have some people questioning whether we will even need quantum computers at all. Tech companies have been ...

With the help of microwaves, Columbia physicists have created a Bose-Einstein Condensate, a unique state of matter, from sodium-cesium molecules. There’s a hot new BEC in town that has nothing to do ...
