A collaborative research team from the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the ...

Researchers have applied physics theory and calculations to predict the presence of two new phenomena -- interspecies radiative transition (IRT) and the breakdown of the dipole selection rule -- in ...

Quantum computing has crossed a line that classical machines cannot easily follow, pushing simulations of matter and forces ...

High energy density (HED) physics has critical applications in areas such as inertial confinement fusion and the stewardship of the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile. Congress has requested that the ...

Scientists at the University of Nebraska are using quantum mechanics to design more powerful and energy-efficient electronic devices. They're trying to find ways to store large amounts of data while ...

Physicists in the US have devised a new technique that brings us one step closer to the possibility of using magnetic nanowires as high-density data storage devices. The technique involves moving ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

Physicists have heated gold to over 19,000 Kelvin, more than 14 times its melting point, without melting it, smashing the long-standing “entropy catastrophe” limit. Using an ultra-fast laser pulse at ...
