Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a ...

Quantum physicists have found a way to make clouds of atomic-scale spins act like a single, disciplined antenna, generating microwave signals that are both powerful and remarkably long lived. Instead ...

Should the eighth mission scheduled for August 21 occur as planned, it is believed that the X-37B spacecraft will spend more than a year in orbit. In May, the People’s Republic of China demonstrated a ...

Smashing subatomic particles together at near-light speeds has long been the best way to understand the universe’s fundamental building blocks. These high-energy collisions, conducted inside massive ...

In the race to secure digital infrastructure against the looming threat of quantum computing, space has emerged as an indispensable theater. Satellites, once primarily vehicles for reconnaissance and ...

Physicists have unveiled a breakthrough in quantum sensing by demonstrating a 2D material as a versatile platform for next-generation nanoscale vectorial magnetometry. A team of physicists at the ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

FORT BELVOIR, Va. — As people travel, it’s second nature to utilize GPS. However, what happens when GPS is not an option? For the Army, the answer is quantum technology. The U.S. Army’s Command, ...

When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone. This ...

Artist's impression of hexagonal boron nitride layers containing a spin, represented by the red arrow, which can be used for sensing magnetic fields. A team of physicists at the University of ...
