A University at Buffalo physicist has received two U.S. Department of Defense grants totaling $1.1 million to study the quantum dynamics that could help advance neutral-atom quantum computing.

A couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...

When it comes to our world, our Solar System, and everything we can see in our Universe, it's all made up of the same ingredients: atoms. Electrons and atomic nuclei interact and link up to form not ...
