In Juy, Mikhail Lukin at Harvard University announced they had a 51 quantum bit simulator. Quantum simulators are used to model the minute behavior of molecules, and could help study how drugs act ...

Physicists are learning to treat light not as an untouchable beam that simply passes through matter, but as something that ...

Most of the things that we measure aren't critical and we can have a pretty large margin of error and be okay. For instance if you're weighing yourself a pound low or ...

Hunting for the universe’s heaviest atoms just got a little easier, thanks to a new technique that directly measures the mass of elements heavier than uranium. The method could help find an “island” ...

In a short talk at Caltech, physicist Richard Feynman laid out a vision of manipulating and controlling atoms at the tiniest ...

Engineers in Sydney have demonstrated a quantum integrated circuit made up of just a few atoms. By precisely controlling the quantum states of the atoms, the new processor can simulate the structure ...

Scientists have captured the first ever footage of atoms bonding at a scale around half a million times smaller than the width of a human hair. Using advanced microscopy methods, the team of UK and ...

Physicists have succeeded in manipulating atoms individually in a lattice of light and in arranging them in arbitrary patterns. These results are an important step towards large-scale quantum ...

Researchers have developed a technique similar to the MRI but has higher resolution and sensitivity, which has the ability to scan individual cells. Researchers from the Institute of Photonic Sciences ...
