Quantum computers hold the potential to revolutionize the possibilities for solving difficult computational problems that would take classical computers many years to resolve. But for those computers ...

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have created a new and unusual state of matter—known as a supersolid—by ...

Recent advances in the study of quantum fluids and phase transitions on graphene have opened new avenues for understanding low-dimensional quantum phenomena and harnessing their potential for future ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of ...

The Einstein-de Haas effect has been observed in a quantum fluid, showing that changes in magnetization transfer angular momentum from atomic spins to collective motion. (Nanowerk News) In 1915, ...

Government, academia, and industry have come together to help push quantum technologies from research into the real world. When most people hear the word “quantum,” they might think of either ...

Recent physics studies have found that light can sometimes flow in unexpected ways, behaving like a so-called "superfluid." Superfluids, such as ultracold atomic gases or helium-4 below specific ...

The swirling patterns in Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” can help us visualize quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). The central spiral and surrounding stars and moon resemble the vortices ...

Electrons in graphene break a key law of metals and reveal a strange quantum fluid. The discovery has surprised scientists.

Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have dreamed of seeing the hidden patterns that govern the motion of nonlinear waves—the unpredictable ripples that shape tsunamis, tides, and turbulent flows. Now, ...
