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…
New transparent window material could cut building energy loss by 50%
In most buildings, windows remain the most vulnerable part of the structure when it comes to energy loss.…
New tests show Jordan lead codices are not all modern fakes
For more than a decade, a set of tiny lead books from Jordan has sat in a strange…
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…
Scientists create new time crystals that are visible to the naked eye
If you were able to visualize the passage of time, it may appear as looping ribbons of color,…
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…
