In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

Quantum plasmas constitute a distinctive state of matter where quantum effects intersect with classical plasma behaviour at the atomic scale. In these systems, the wave nature of particles and strong ...

A scanning tunneling microscope and machine learning algorithm autonomously search for atomic structures. This image shows a vacancy defect on europium zinc arsenide. A research team led by Oak Ridge ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, along with other scientists, are taking small steps to create materials that could ...

Superconductivity—the ability of a material to conduct electricity without any energy loss to heat—enables highly efficient, ...

Caltech scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)–based method that dramatically speeds up calculations of the quantum interactions that take place in materials. In new work, the group ...

A quantum system built from just nine atoms has outperformed classical artificial intelligence models containing thousands of ...

At first glance, quantum mechanics might seem strange or even impossible. That’s because our everyday experiences of the laws of physics are very different from how matter and energy behave at the ...

An international team led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has merged two lab-synthesized materials into a synthetic quantum structure once thought impossible to exist and produced an ...
