Quantum computers successfully model particle scattering

Scattering takes place across the universe at large and miniscule scales. Billiard balls clank off each other in bars, the nuclei of atoms collide to power the stars and create heavy elements, and even sound waves deviate ...

Exploiting photon colors for a high-performance quantum internet

Data security on the internet is under threat: in the future, quantum computers could decode even encrypted files sent over the internet in no time. Researchers worldwide are, therefore, experimenting with quantum networks ...

The dynamics of fluid flow on (and off) inclined fibers

The commonplace phenomenon of liquid drops falling from a surface is—perhaps surprisingly—not yet fully understood by scientists. Understanding the complex interactions between the forces involved here would be helpful ...

Physicists stabilize superconducting states at ambient pressure

Researchers at the University of Houston's Texas Center for Superconductivity have achieved another first in their quest toward ambient-pressure high-temperature superconductivity, bringing us one step closer to finding superconductors ...
