3+ hour, 42+ min ago   (603+ words) A quantum computer can be an ungainly thing, because even the most elegant qubit-housing cryostat usually sprouts a thicket of control cables. Engineers can clear some of the cable weeds if they get control electronics that work in the cold,…...

9+ hour, 33+ min ago   (366+ words) A twist of just 1.1 degrees unlocked a surprising property in bilayer graphene, and the field gained major attention after this discovery. Researchers are extending this exploration beyond graphene to materials like halide perovskites and MXenes, observing altered exciton transport and…...

16+ hour, 4+ min ago   (647+ words) The study, published in Nature, focuses on cutting-edge, ultrathin devices known as two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors that have very unusual electron states. Other research team members include Feng Wang, a faculty senior scientist in Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Division and a professor…...

3+ day, 7+ hour ago   (666+ words) Startup S-Transistor says it can make superconducting transistors at scale S-Transistors’s superconducting integrated circuits can bring cabling inside the cryostat of a quantum computer. A quantum computer can be an ungainly thing, because even the most elegant qubit-housing cryostat usually…...

16+ hour, 53+ min ago   (287+ words) by Jenna Flogeras | Sep 21, 2026 Professionally, the award comes at an important point in my career, as I am beginning to build my own research group. It gives me confidence not only to explore new fundamental physics, but also to think…...

14+ hour, 21+ min ago   (87+ words) Quantum batteries have moved from a theoretical curiosity to one of the most actively pursued ideas in quantum thermodynamics, promising charging speeds and power densities that no electrochemical cell can match. Now, a team of researchers in Iran has shown…...

2+ day, 15+ hour ago   (926+ words) Ivy Delaney has been working with neural networks and machine learning since the mid-nineties, back when a couple of hidden layers and a long afternoon of training counted as ambitious. She has watched the field go from academic curiosity to…...

3+ day, 5+ hour ago   (743+ words) image: Researchers have shown that tiny wrinkles in graphene can change the material’s electrical properties. By harnessing this characteristic, scientists may one day control electricity in atomically thin materials — such as graphene — by changing their shape instead of adding new…...

3+ day, 4+ hour ago   (567+ words) image: At the award ceremony (from left): Laudator Dr Thomas John, Saarland University; the Würzburg award winners Professor Sebastian von Mammen and Professor Tobias Brixner; Dr Marc Sacher, spokesperson for the Working Group on Physics Practical Classes, University of Paderborn;…...
