New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange themselves into orderly, but nonrepeating, patterns.

Nobel Prize in Physics is a tribute to the scientists who first discovered quantum behaviors in a macroscopic electrical circuit.

Atomic imaging shows graphene nanoribbons retain atomic structure and adjustable electronic alignment after transfer to graphene, offering a clear route toward stable, reproducible nanoelectronic ...

The discovery could significantly reduce the production costs of fuels, chemicals, and materials. A research team from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and ...

Argonne scientists have come closer to creating a quantum spin liquid, a rare state of matter that could help enable fault-tolerant quantum computers. They studied a honeycomb-structured material ...

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they created dramatic shockwaves ...

Researchers from EeroQ, the quantum computing company pioneering electron-on-helium technology, have published a paper, titled "Sensing and Control of Single Trapped Electrons Above 1 Kelvin," in ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

Changing interactions between the smallest particles at the touch of a button: Quantum researchers at RPTU have developed a new tool that makes this possible. The new approach—a temporally oscillating ...

If you’re looking to upgrade your traditional hard drive to a solid-state drive, but don’t want to start everything back up from scratch, here’s how to transfer the data from your old hard drive.

The discovery honored with this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics takes phenomena observed in the subatomic world—the interactions and behavior of tiny particles like electrons and protons—and puts them ...
