The future of computing has arrived in a flash, literally. In A Nutshell Researchers created a computer that performs complex ...

When an intense laser pulse hits a stationary electron, it performs a trembling motion at the frequency of the light field. However, this motion dies down after the pulse, and the electron comes to ...

When you encounter any of these errors, you’ll receive a full accompanying error message as follows: Unable to perform operation. An unexpected error (0x422) has ...

Intelligent optical sensing systems that integrate wavefront control with adaptive responses are emerging as key enablers for next-generation LiDAR technologies. Scientist in China developed a ...

In the second of a two-part article, Philip Ball looks at the challenges of error correction to build truly useful quantum computing; how algorithms will need to be ...

T he sky could be filled with auroras thanks to a rare occurrence. Aurora borealis, a stunning display of neon lights in the ...

Hanging by a thread: Wasp spiders, Argiope bruennichi, are known to incorporate so-called “stabilimenta” into their web structure, but the function of these “extra touches” has remained unknown.

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

In 1957 a group of the titans of physics gathered in a lecture hall at Princeton University to be addressed by a diminutive Chinese American woman. As she told the crowd about her recent experiment ...
