A proposed pathway to construct quantum computers may be the outcome of research by a physics team that has created a new molecule based on the interaction between a highly-excited type of atom known ...

Physicists have now shown the first experimental proof of a molecule consisting of two identical atoms that exhibits a permanent electric dipole moment. This observation contradicts the classical ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. In a previous post, I went on for a bit about how the cool patterns of ...

Researchers from HSE MIEM and the Institute of Non-Classical Chemistry in Leipzig have proposed a new theoretical model of supercapacitors that takes into account the properties of a cation, which ...

Monitoring precession: The researchers measured the electron electric dipole moment in hafnium fluoride ions confined within an ion trap. (Courtesy: Casey Cass/University of Colorado) One way to look ...
