An ultrafast optical technique uncovers new clues to the origin of bulk polarization in quantum ferroelectric materials.

Photoelectron interference can reveal otherwise hidden properties of quantum light through an apparent attosecond time shift.

Neutrino astronomy and the effort to build a cubic-kilometer-sized detector at the South Pole are recognized by the 2026 ...

Two independent teams have built operating nuclear clocks—devices that might one day rival the best atomic clocks and offer ...

Regions within a cell in which biomolecules are concentrated, called condensates, form different structures when enzymes are involved, according to experiments. A biomolecular condensate is a small ...

A new device in which more than 600 atoms are manipulated within a single optical cavity could allow for the scaling up of neutral-atom quantum computers. Neutral-atom arrays are a leading platform ...

A simplified model of the heart’s mitral valve shows that flow fluctuations can cause a soft valve to close at about one-tenth the pressure required under steady flow. Figure 1: High-speed images show ...

When intense quantum light knocks electrons out of atoms, the statistics of the light can be transferred to the electrons. Strong-field ionization—a process in which intense laser light strips ...

Pairing superconducting qubits with microwave cavities could reduce the hardware requirements for quantum simulations of fundamental physics. Performing simulations of quantum systems on an ordinary ...

The superconductivity of uranium ditelluride (UTe 2) has a low critical temperature typical of superconducting uranium compounds. Yet its response to an applied magnetic field is extraordinary. Not ...
