Would matrix mechanics win recognition today?

Albert Einstein, best known for his work in relativity, won the Nobel Prize for his formula for the photoelectric effect, which often surprises modern physicists. He's not the only physicist whose Nobel award misaligns with ...

Powering the quantum revolution: Quantum engines on the horizon

Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that explores the properties and interactions of particles at very small scale, such as atoms and molecules. This has led to the development of new technologies that are more powerful ...

A linear path to efficient quantum technologies

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have demonstrated that a key ingredient for many quantum computation and communication schemes can be performed with an efficiency that exceeds the commonly assumed upper theoretical ...

New property of hydrogen predicted

Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. It determines the properties of stars and planets and is crucial for life on Earth—not least because of its role in climate-neutral energy supply. Generations of scientists ...

Current takes a surprising path in quantum material

Cornell researchers have used magnetic imaging to obtain the first direct visualization of how electrons flow in a special type of insulator, and by doing so they discovered that the transport current moves through the interior ...
