This quantum particle couldn’t tunnel because its two routes fought each other

A laser gave diamond’s atomic defects a makeover, revealing new light signals while its existing quantum centers barely flinched.

A superconducting circuit and a special detector let researchers choose how smaller entangled states connect without any damage.

The Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) are said to be an endangered species.

IonQ’s quantum link beats the previous trapped-ion record by over four times.

Light was used to trigger electron transfer between hydrazine and a thiophenol derivative, generating reactive hydrogen atoms.

The material was developed by researchers at Anhui Agricultural University in China.

China’s nuclear clock leads Vienna’s in stability as both teams refine thorium-229 timekeeping.

The system could help quantum computers scale to thousands of qubits.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026 recognises discoveries that have enabled chemists to drive chemical reactions that lead to homochirality.

Creating a solid-state quantum device regularly starts with controlled crystal damage.

Researchers scanned each radioactive fragment from 2,000 different angles.

The observatory, called IceCube, uses Antarctic ice to detect rare neutrinos from space.

The stands will house superconducting magnets previously used to guide beams around the collider.

The research team leveraged biexciton decay and attained it in a controlled manner to generate identical photons.

Researchers focused on Tsai-type approximant crystals. These materials mimic important structural features of quasicrystals while having a repeating crystal structure that can be studied experimentally.

E-ink reflects rather than emits light. It holds an image without continuously consuming display power.

New measurements of uranium ditelluride expose an elusive arrangement of Cooper pairs predicted nearly two decades ago.

A tiny internal magnetic field gives physicists a new way to probe exotic superconductivity near absolute zero.

Two ultrashort laser pulses collide at an angle, creating a new way to watch electrons evolve in quantum space.
