Chicago researchers see opportunity to enhance world-leading quantum ecosystem with state- of-the-art facility on Chicago’s South Side ...

A collaboration between UChicago PME’s STAGE Center, IBM and United Airlines is introducing travelers to quantum science and ...

Libby Heaney’s Growler (2024) is a glass sculpture that looks anything but. Despite its crystalline surface, it appears as if viscous, gummy and glutinous as it sags and drips down the side of its ...

Quantum researchers have deployed a new algorithm to manage noise in qubits in real time. The method can be applied to a wide range of different qubits, even in large numbers. Noise is the "ghost in ...

“It’s a classic Columbia story—multiple groups in physics and chemistry came together to work on this new material, and we found exciting new results about how electrons move,” said Aravind ...

Atomic orbitals (red & blue), which determine how far electrons can move around their originating atom in a material, can trap those electrons in place—a new source of frustration that researchers can ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

In a quiet lab at MIT, a group of physicists may have just resolved one of the most iconic debates in the history of science. Using state-of-the-art tools and techniques that Albert Einstein and Niels ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

Chemists develop a quantum dot system that uses 99% less energy to drive tough organic reactions, offering a leap forward in visible-light photocatalysis. Quantum dots (QDs) hold great promise as ...

A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered by chemists—and exemplifies how the second quantum revolution is fostering ...
