A new paper makes the strange case for prime numbers at the heart of physics. Like physics, math has its own set of " fundamental particles " — the prime numbers, which can't be broken down into ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum ...

A quantum internet is only as useful as its reach, and in a first, researchers created more than a million qubit pairs across ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around the loop four times to return to your starting position ...
