Scientists create Bose-Einstein condensate leading to a new fifth state of matter
In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of…
Scientists bend magnetic fields around real-world objects to create ‘invisibility cloaks’
For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding…
Scientists reduce the time for quantum learning tasks from 20 million years to 15 minutes
Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That approach…
Next-generation quantum sensor sees the magnetic world in unprecedented detail
In labs around the world, scientists chase forces too faint to see and too small to touch. They…
A glass bead and a green laser helps scientists observe lightning form in real time
A single green laser, a glass bead smaller than a bacterium and a lab in Austria are helping…
Researchers build magnetic computer that thinks like a brain
In the future, a new type of computer may be able to learn much like you do—by experience…
Oxford physicists achieve teleportation between two quantum supercomputers
In a laboratory at Oxford University, scientists have achieved something that once seemed science fiction: they made two…
Scientists develop reusable air filter that mimics the human nose
Air pollution isn’t always visible, but it affects nearly every breath taken indoors. Floating in the air are…
