Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, challenging long-held principles of entropy and energy dissipation in microscopic ...

Inspired by an artist's stencils, researchers have developed atomic-level precision patterning on nanoparticle surfaces, allowing them to "paint" gold nanoparticles with polymers to give them an array ...

IceCube's detection of ghost particles is providing new data on how these neutrinos interact with Earth’s atmosphere and potentially influence weather patterns and energy systems. Florida property tax ...

Quantum technology can process an enormous amount of data and solve complex problems in seconds rather than decades. Remarkably, quantum technology first appeared in the early 1900s. It originated ...

Producing the subatomic particles called muons is now a lighter lift than ever before. Several teams of researchers have generated muons using small particle accelerators driven by lasers. Typically, ...

Before receiving the Nobel Prize in physics, Michel Devoret, an emeritus professor of applied physics, was known for the passion he exuded while engaging with colleagues and students. Last week, ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics honors three quantum physicists—John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis—for their study of quantum mechanics in a macroscopic electrical circuit. Since the ...
