Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of ...

Science and technology could be revolutionized by quantum computers, but building them from solid-state devices will not be easy. Robert W Keyes of IBM's research division outlines the challenges in ...

Tangled chains lead to shear thickening Simulations showing the emergence of chains of particles in a suspension. The image on the left shows isolated chains in a suspension with a relatively low ...

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast off into space. But a team of researchers from TU Wien and their colleagues ...
