Generating stable qubits at room temperature
Incorporating a chromophore in a metal-organic framework suppressed the molecular motion sufficiently to maintain the quantum coherence of the quintet state for more than 100 nanoseconds. Credit: Nobuhiro Yanai A…
Research offers insights into the metal-to-insulator transition without breaking symmetry
Credit: Yale University Metal-to-insulator transition—a process that turns materials from a conductor to an insulator—has been a crucial process behind microelectronic switches, nonvolatile memory, and neuromorphic computing materials. In many…
In novel quantum computer design, qubits use magnets to selectively communicate
Researchers have demonstrated that qubits (represented by the spheres and arrows) can “talk” to each other through a magnet (represented by the rectangular solid) rather than through air. This technology…
Quantum particles retain intrinsic features
Newswise — The quantum Cheshire cat effect draws its name from the fictional Cheshire Cat in the Alice in Wonderland story. That cat was able to disappear, leaving only its grin behind.…
NASA’s Webb Finds Signs of Possible Aurorae on Isolated Brown Dwarf
Newswise — Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found a brown dwarf (an object more massive than Jupiter but smaller than a star) with infrared emission from methane,…

Brookhaven Lab Sets Sights on Particle Physics Goals
Newswise — As the particle physics community releases its strategic plan for the next 10 years and overall vision for the next 20, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s…
Testing the Gallium Anomaly
The Science Scientists have confirmed possible evidence of a new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino. These particles, if they exist, interact only via gravity, not any of the other forces in…
