Students, staff and CSIRO scientists at the M'Bunghara school. CSIRO scientists Kymberley Scroggie and Jim Harris visited the local M'Bunghara school ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or ...

Marilyne Andersen emphasises the need for scientists and diplomats to collaborate on governance frameworks for emerging ...

The partnership will support the creation of the IonQ Quantum Innovation Centre to be based at the Ray Dolby Centre, the new home of Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory. The Centre ...

A newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying long-held expectations about how superconductors behave.

Forces have mediator particles. Electromagnetism is mediated by the photons, for example. So most of the decay of this excited dark matter particle would be this unknown mediator. The excited state ...

Cambridge is steadily becoming a global powerhouse for Quantum Computing after IonQ in Maryland and the University revealed that the most powerful quantum computer in the UK will be based at the seat ...

Physicists have recreated the Nobel Prize–winning quantum Hall effect using light, revealing that photons can follow the same ...

When Richard Feynman first conceived of quantum computers in the 1980s, he believed they should primarily investigate quantum phenomena. So that’s what a group of chemists did: they used quantum ...

Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave ...

The original story “ Physicists build a quantum Newton’s cradle where energy flows without resistance ” is published in The ...
