'Snowmass' Meeting: Scientists Lay Out Future Goals in the Field of Particle Physics

With a picturesque backdrop of Mt. Rainier, particle physicists from across the United States gathered in Seattle (with more tuning in virtually) to assess the most important science opportunities in their field over the next decade.

Using Laser Light to Explore Quantum Electron Highways

Hitting a topological insulator with powerful pulses of circularly polarized laser light reveals what its electrons are doing - and how its surface switches from being an electron highway to an electron roadblock.

New Underground Lab to Shed Light on Dark Matter

One kilometer underground in Stawell, in the Northern Grampians in Victoria, a team of Australian scientists has put the final touches on an underground lab that will help us understand the nature of our universe.

Why Have Some Pulsars “Gone Missing”?

MSPs, or millisecond pulsars, are evolved neutron stars with brief spin periods that underwent extensive mass transfer during a low-mass X-ray binary phase.

C2QA QIS101 Summer School Program Helps Expand the Reach of Quantum Computing to More Students

Training the next generation of researchers on advanced computing is imperative, but resources for them are limited. That training gap is what inspired the Brookhaven National Laboratory-led Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA) to design the QIS101 quantum computing summer school program.

Quantum Annealing Computers can Outperform Classical Computers Under Certain Conditions

Recent research proves that under certain conditions, quantum annealing computers can run algorithms-;including the well-known Shor's algorithm-;more quickly than classical computers. In most cases, however, quantum annealing does not provide a speed-up compared to classical computing when time is limited, according to a study in Nature Communications.

A 2D Array of Electron and Nuclear Spin Qubits Unveils a New Frontier in Quantum Science and Technology

Purdue University researchers have unlocked a new frontier in quantum science and technology by using photons and electron spin qubits to regulate nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material.

Getting One Step Closer to Quantum Theory of Gravity by Using Hamilton-Jacobi Techniques

In Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity arises when a massive object distorts the fabric of spacetime the way a ball sinks into a piece of stretched cloth.

Researchers Establish a Relationship Between Topology and Entanglement

Topology and entanglement are two powerful principles for characterizing the structure of complex quantum states.

Fermilab Announces First Successful Demonstration of New Particle Beam Technique

Physicists love to smash particles together and study the resulting chaos. Therein lies the discovery of new particles and strange physics, generated for tiny fractions of a second and recr"eating conditions often not seen in our universe for billions of years.

One More Clue to the Moon’s Origin

Researchers from ETH Zurich discover the first definitive proof that the Moon inherited indigenous noble gases from the Earth’s mantle. The discovery represents a significant piece of the puzzle towards understanding how the Moon and, potentially, the Earth and other celestial bodies were formed.

NOIRLab Reveals Stunning Images of Merging Spiral Galaxies

One of the twin telescopes of the International Gemini Observatory, Gemini North, which is run by the NOIRLab of the NSF, has discovered the first signs of a cosmic collision that is taking place around 60 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Virgo.

Study Highlights One Way that Cyclic or “Bouncing” Cosmologies Fall Flat

In trying to understand the nature of the cosmos, some theorists propose that the universe expands and contracts in endless cycles.
