The Cuban Missile Crisis pushed the world to the brink of nuclear Armageddon and no footprint has yet been left on the Moon. Yet one of the more peculiar twists of the Cold War involved a physics ...

Instead of superconducting circuits cooled to near absolute zero, photonic systems use light particles as qubits.

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have uncovered previously unobserved oscillation ...

For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat.

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.

A Cybertruck owner who pulled an 11,000-lb load through a mountain pass says the truck’s performance has effectively ended a ...

Nanoscale device employs magnetic tunnel junctions to convert thermal noise into binary signals for random number generation.

Flexoelectricity, which can transform mechanical deformation into electrical signals, could provide enough power to fire ...
