At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Buildings produce a large share of New York's greenhouse gas emissions, but predicting future energy demand—essential for ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto ...

A new type of OLED can generate left- or right-handed circularly polarized light from just one form of light-emitting ...

In controlled experiments, engineers have shown that electricity can be transmitted through the air using highly controlled ...

Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the ...

The fusion experiment uses high-temperature superconducting coils, according to the report. A major breakthrough, these coils ...
