In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

Iridium oxide is one of the most important—and most problematic—materials in the global push toward clean energy. It is ...

After years of work building an exquisitely sensitive instrument, University of Chicago scientists stood and watched as it flew up and out of sight into the fiercely blue Antarctic sky. Launched on ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward mimicking nature’s tiniest gateways by creating ultra-small pores that rival the dimensions of biological ion channels—just a few atoms wide. The breakthrough ...

For a mere moment after the Big Bang, no neutrons or protons are thought to have existed. These neutral and positively charged particles, respectively, make up the center of all atoms today. But ...

Diamond quantum nanoprobes detect immune cell inflammation by sensing electric charge shifts, opening a new path for real-time single-cell monitoring in immunology and cancer research.

Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ) went public this week — the first quantum company of its kind to do so — and raised about $550 million in the process, capital that the Boulder firm’s leaders say will help ...
