In a metal like copper, however, the outer electrons swim around freely and are shared by all the atoms. That’s why ...

This year's Nobel Prizes have awarded discoveries and achievements that have benefitted humankind in a myriad of ways. Who ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025 honors scaled-up quantum physics—while sidestepping controversies swirling around quantum ...

For the first time, researchers have pushed electrons to flow so fast they went supersonic, creating a shockwave. The currents of electricity flowing through our devices share a name with river ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John Martinis built an electrical circuit-based oscillator on a microchip.

This year’s Nobel Prize in physics has gone to three scientists who showed that it was possible even for large systems, made up of billions of these small particles, to exhibit quantum behaviour under ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in medical devices and quantum computing.

Abstract: Robustness to variations is desirable in current digital circuit design techniques. Sources of variations are many, and the evolution of current integrated circuit fabrication technologies ...

Electrons flow underground in ways far more extensive than once believed, forming networks that link distant chemical zones. Minerals, organic molecules, and specialized bacteria can act as bridges, ...
