At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

A strange new phase of matter is forcing physicists to rethink what electrons can do, and it is arriving just as space agencies and private launch companies are hunting for materials that can survive ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a circuit. While we can't see these electrons, electric currents moving through ...

Scientists have finally unlocked a way to identify the elusive W state of quantum entanglement, solving a decades-old problem and opening paths to quantum teleportation and advanced quantum ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum conditions. Researchers identified how to tune these transitions and even ...

Physicists are rapidly expanding the traditional menu of matter beyond solids, liquids, gases and plasmas, uncovering exotic phases that behave in ways no classroom diagram ever captured. In the ...

BOSTON, July 14, 2025 — A team of scientists from QuEra Computing, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has reported the experimental demonstration of magic state ...

Building large-scale quantum technologies requires reliable ways to connect individual quantum bits (qubits) without destroying their fragile quantum states. In a new theoretical study, published in ...
