A new kind of mirror is emerging from quantum physics labs, one that exists not as a chunk of polished glass but as a ...

Scientists have shown that Barkhausen noise can be produced not only through traditional, or classical means, but through quantum mechanical effects. The research represents an advance in fundamental ...

Using a clever laser technique, scientists have squished pairs of atoms closer together than ever before, revealing some truly mind-boggling quantum effects. When you purchase through links on our ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Moungi Bawendi of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Louis Brus of Columbia University, and Alexei Ekimov of Nanocrystals Technology Inc. ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Dimensions typically refer to the measurable extent of height, width, and depth, defining an object's presence in physical space. However, in the weird and wonderful quantum world ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals. They exist on a nanometer scale (ca. 2–12 nm) and are coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to avoid agglomeration. Due to their size, CQDs ...
