While a quantum computer could factor a 2048-bit RSA key in less than a week with fewer than a million qubits, there are ...

Scientists use light to change matter’s magnetic nature at room temperature, revealing quantum effects once thought impossible.

For the first time, scientists have created oxygen-28, a rare oxygen isotope that has 12 more neutrons than oxygen-16, the most common form of oxygen on the planet. This newly created "heavy" oxygen ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

From levitating magnets to mind-bending psychology studies, these ten experiments reveal just how surprising - and mysterious ...

When two sheets of carbon atoms are twisted to the “magic” angle of 1.1 degrees, many properties of their electrons abruptly change, and the material — known as magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene — ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...
