Magnetic switching processes are considered a prime example of controllable physics at the nanometer scale: in certain thin-film systems, a short electrical current pulse is sufficient to reverse the ...

For years, quantum computers have carried a bold promise. They could solve problems so complex that even the world’s best classical computers would fail. That promise fueled a global race among ...

Scientists have directly watched angular momentum move through a crystal for the very first time — and discovered a bizarre twist along the way. Using ultra-powerful terahertz laser pulses, ...

To keep communications secure in a post-quantum world, cryptographers are digging down into the concept of cause and effect.

SpinLaunch was once one of the most talked-about “crazy but maybe” startups in the new-space ecosystem. The company promised ...

How come our universe is full of disorder, when all elementary particles appear to follow strictly ordered laws of physics? And are there organizing principles behind disorder and apparent chaos?

Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Chirality is a property that makes it impossible to ...

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measur ...

James Webb Space Telescope data has led to the surprising discovery that an early, distant galaxy is not rotating as expected ...

The transistor is the basic technology behind, well, everything in modern computing. In digital circuits, a transistor acts ...
