Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

Artificial intelligence is often used to generate images. In research, specialized AI models are used for scientific ...

AI method reconstructs missing hydrogen atom positions in crystal databases, enabling faster, more accurate materials simulations for storage, batteries and other uses.

A simple surface coating could make it easier to reliably make parts of next-generation computer chips using silicon and a ...

A quantum computer built using giant atoms controlled by laser light may be enough to imitate some functions of the brain, such as memory and decision-making. Rodrigo Araiza Bravo at Harvard ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists at Ohio State University have taken a step toward the development of powerful new computers -- by making tiny holes that contain nothing at all. The holes -- dark spots in ...

Gold has long stood apart from other metals. It does not rust like iron or tarnish like silver. Its shine endures across ...

Inside computer chips are billions of tiny transistors made from silicon. But the material is approaching its limits. In an ...

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started out with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow ...
