Charged cosmic rays, high-energy clusters of particles moving through space, were first described in 1912 by physicist Victor Hess. Since their discovery, they have been the topic of numerous astrophysics studies aimed at ...
A team of physicists at the University of Maryland's Joint Quantum Institute and Quantum Materials Center has achieved millisecond coherence while testing the properties of a fluxonium qubit in a quantum circuit. In their ...
For about half a century, physicists have puzzled over vibrations in glass at low temperatures. The reason: Glass carries sound waves and vibrations differently than other solids—it "vibrates differently." But why? And ...
