With the rise of quantum computers, the security of our existing communication systems is at risk. Quantum computers will be able to break many of the encryption methods used in current communication ...

High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is the only experimental technique to directly watch proteins in dynamic action.

Pain is hard to measure. One person’s “ouch” is another’s agony. Now, scientists say they’ve found a better way of assessing pain: putting a price on it. By translating pain into dollars, they’ve ...

“In a GHZ state, if you measure one qubit, the whole superposition collapses. But in a W state, even if you measure one ...

Atomic clocks, which power GPS, online transactions, and data networks, just became more precise. MIT physicists have developed a technique that doubles the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by ...

A halorhodopsin can function as the yin to channelrhodopsin-2's yang for photoinducible control of neuronal activity. Chinese teachings say that two opposing but complementary principles yin (passive) ...
