Researchers from the Monash University School of Physics and Astronomy have flipped a long-held assumption in optics, showing ...

In a novel experiment, physicists have observed long range quantum coherence effects due to Aharonov-Bohm interference in a topological insulator-based device. This finding opens up a new realm of ...

Physicists Shubhayan Sarkar, Armin Tavakoli Orthey Jr., and Remigiusz Augusiak have published a scheme in Nature Physics that ...

Researchers have fabricated a device no wider than a human hair that will help physicists investigate the fundamental nature of matter and light. Their findings could also support the development of ...

The Large Helical Device (LHD) represents a forefront instrument in fusion research, utilising a superconducting helical configuration to generate and confine high-temperature deuterium plasmas. Its ...

The rapid expansion of the solar cell industry is an important factor in combating global warming and realizing a sustainable energy future. As conventional silicon-based cells approach their ...

As drones survey forests, robots navigate warehouses and sensors monitor city streets, more of the world’s decision-making is occurring autonomously on the edge—on the small devices that gather ...

The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), a National Quantum Information Science Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, takes a science-first approach to exploring new ...
