Stardust alone can’t drive stellar winds, reshaping what we know about how aging stars spread life’s elements through space.

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Even as quantum navigation emerges as a legitimate alternative to satellite-based navigation, the satellites themselves are ...

The Jahn-Teller effect, proposed by Jahn and Teller in 1937, describes how molecules or crystals with degenerate electronic orbitals can lower their total energy by distorting their structure. This ...

Research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute is advancing the ability to quickly clean up Earth’s radiation belts from a flood of energetic electrons created by an ...

Today’s computers store information in magnetic hard drives, keeping files safe even when the device is powered off. But to run programs and process information, computers rely on electricity. Each ...

Yet even at this apparently late date in the field’s development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...

Welcome to this edition of The Intelligence Brief… This week, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have uncovered the phenomenon behind sudden spacecraft failures in orbit, long a mystery to ...

When humans think about time, most imagine a steady flow of seconds ticking into minutes and minutes into hours which carry us from past to present to future. But in the science of quantum physics, ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for ...
