Pairing superconducting qubits with microwave cavities could reduce the hardware requirements for quantum simulations of fundamental physics. Performing simulations of quantum systems on an ordinary ...
A new technique for generating solid fibers from a liquid jet is easier to model—and thus easier to control—than past methods. Transformed by light. These seven photos show a liquid streaming downward ...
Researchers observe atoms trapped in an optical lattice mimicking particles created in a strong electric field. In physics, you can get something from nothing. In a strong electric field, electrons ...
A decades-old neutrino mystery might be solved not by undiscovered physics but by improved calculations. For more than 30 years, scientists have found that roughly 20% fewer electron neutrinos are ...
A hallmark property of unconventional superconductivity has been discovered in a type-I superconductor, whereas it’s normally observed only in type-II materials. Superconductors can be broadly ...
Researchers have gained access to the rich physics of a landmark model magnet by assembling a crystal out of organic magnetic molecules. The S = 1 Haldane chain is an infinite 1D string of integer ...
A tabletop experiment using a classical water vortex supports a decades-old theory describing the decay of turbulence in quantum fluids. Figure 1: A numerical simulation of a quantized vortex in a ...
A carbon nanotube foam springs back to its initial state, regardless of the speed of the compression, a property that could lead to a new type of shock absorber. Perfect padding. Vertically aligned ...
