Quantum technology is moving from the pages of theoretical physics toward laboratories, corporate research centers and government strategy rooms, and...

Ants may be tiny, but their movements are anything but simple. Some species can carry loads many times their own...

A new experiment has shown that sunlight, rather than a power-hungry laser, can generate entangled photons—particles of light whose properties...

Two-dimensional superconductors have long been viewed as promising building blocks for next-generation quantum technologies, but their practical use has been...

A quantum signal has completed a difficult journey through 62 kilometers of aerial fiber in the Maryland suburbs, surviving the...

A long-running search for one of the most elusive particles predicted by modern physics has reached a decisive new stage....

Near-infrared light is invisible to the human eye, yet it quietly powers some of the technologies shaping modern life. It...

For decades, physicists have been trying to understand what happens when a material that should conduct electricity instead behaves like...

An international team of physicists has created an exceptionally high-flux mixture of two atomic quantum gases under microgravity, opening a...

Lasers are everywhere: they carry data through fiber-optic networks, guide precision measurements, scan products in factories and power medical devices....
