Researchers at the University of California, University of North Texas, Pennsylvania State University, National Institute of Standards and Technology and Rice University have demonstrated a strong form of interference between phonons - the vibrations in a...

Scientists at SLAC unexpectedly created gold hydride, a compound of gold and hydrogen, while studying diamond formation under extreme pressure and heat. This discovery challenges gold’s reputation as a chemically unreactive metal and opens doors to studying dense...

Scientists have found that microscopic gold clusters can act like the world’s most accurate quantum systems, while being far easier to scale up. With tunable spin properties and mass production potential, they could transform quantum computing and sensing.

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, researchers have captured the hidden, never-ending vibrations of atoms inside molecules. This first-ever direct view of zero-point motion reveals that atoms move in precise, synchronized patterns, even in their lowest...

ETH Zurich researchers levitated a nano glass sphere cluster with record-setting quantum purity at room temperature, avoiding costly cooling. Using optical tweezers, they isolated quantum zero-point motion, paving the way for future quantum sensors in navigation,...

Physicists are exploring thorium-229’s unique properties to create a nuclear clock so precise it could detect the faintest hints of dark matter. Recent measurement advances may allow scientists to spot tiny shifts in the element’s resonance spectrum, potentially...

Researchers from Brazil's Federal University of Paraíba – UFPB and Portugals' University of Aveiro and LASI (Intelligent Systems Associate Laboratory) have presented a simple and cost-effective approach for the one-step synthesis of MnCo2O4-reduced graphene oxide...

Scientists from India have studied the use of graphene quantum dot-integrated nanocomposites as a novel therapeutic strategy against glioblastoma, an aggressive and treatment-resistant type of brain tumor. This innovative approach leverages the unique...

South China University of Technology researchers have proposed a sustainable strategy to synthesize a series of FePO4 wrapped by reduced graphene oxides (FePO4@rGx (x = 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) composites directly from waste LiFePO₄ batteries. This strategy not only...
