I’m lucky to learn firsthand about some of the world’s most cutting-edge technologies. I’ve seen artificial intelligence ace an AP biology test, long before AI became an everyday tool. I’ve seen ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets. Particle accelerators, also known as particle ...

A team of Harvard physicists built the first-ever quantum computing machine that can operate continuously without restarting, achieving a major breakthrough in a field that could revolutionize ...

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer ...

Scientists are like prospectors, excavating the natural world seeking gems of knowledge about physical reality. And in the century just past, scientists have dug deep enough to discover that reality’s ...

Neutrons, subatomic particles that exist in every atom save hydrogen, are among the most common confounders of WIMP signals. Nelson and UCSB led the design, fabrication, and commissioning of the OD, ...

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

Inspired by an artist's stencils, researchers have developed atomic-level precision patterning on nanoparticle surfaces, ...

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the Universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

Researchers developed a method to pattern gold nanoparticles with atomic precision, creating patchy particles with new shapes ...

Exploring the four fundamental particles photon, electron, quark, and neutrino that make up everything in the universe.

Quantum technology can process an enormous amount of data and solve complex problems in seconds rather than decades. Remarkably, quantum technology first appeared in the early 1900s. It originated ...
