Detecting dark matter with quantum computers

Dark matter makes up about 27% of the matter and energy budget in the universe, but scientists do not know much about it. They do know that it is cold, meaning that the particles that make up dark matter are slow-moving. ...

Research unveils birthplace of gold-rich stars

A team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame and Tohoku University have revealed the birthplace of so-called "gold-rich" stars—stars with an abundance of heavy elements beyond iron, including the "jewelry store ...

New theory of electron spin to aid quantum devices

Electrons—those little subatomic particles that help make up the atoms in our bodies and the electricity flowing through your phone or computer right now—have some properties like mass and charge that will be familiar ...

A molecular-based, finite-state machine

A small team of researchers at the University of Manchester has developed a technique for creating a molecular-based, finite-state machine. Their research was published in the journal Nature.
