Quantum emitters work by releasing single photons, individual packets of light, on demand. This ability is critical because ...

A 40-atom gold nanocluster breaks from gold's signature dense packing, forming square atomic planes with a central channel that accelerates electron relaxation about 80x.

Researchers have uncovered an interface layer that may affect the performance of certain superconducting qubits.

Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

At 5:30 A.M. local time on July 16th, 1945, a bomb was detonated in the deserts of New Mexico at a site 210 miles south of Los Alamos, codename Trinity. The intense heat and pressure emanating off the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.
