A new device uses millimeter-wave radiation to accurately read the states of superconducting qubits without altering them.

The Rubin Observatory has spotted a distant object that could join Pluto in the Solar System’s exclusive family of dwarf ...

In a nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE), an electric field applied in the plane of a material induces a transverse voltage that depends nonlinearly on the field. This voltage can scale with either an odd or ...

A single, real fish (left) swims in a virtual-reality bowl, where virtual fish are projected onto the walls. The sizes of the virtual fish are enlarged to make them appear closer to the real fish. A ...

Researchers have proposed that structural disorder can be harnessed to generate coherent, directional light from the passage of a charged particle. When a charged particle such as a relativistic ...

Experiments show that bundling of individual strands of an important protein polymer can occur through capillary forces, not just through molecular binding.

Molecular “locks” that fit many “keys” may allow different plant mating strategies to coexist within a population of a single plant species. Figure 1: Many flowering plants like these petunias produce ...

Lab experiments provide new details about the charge-transfer process that occurs in ash clouds and other collections of particles. Electric volcano. Triboelectric charging caused by collisions of ash ...

Topological superconductors hold promise for fault-tolerant quantum computing, but isolating signatures of the desired topological states has proven an elusive goal. A new study of an iron-based ...
