Special techniques to study ripples in the universe may have helped researchers solve an age-old mystery. Statistical modeling methods developed to study gravitational waves have been used to predict the structure of a broken piece of a millennia-old artifact, according to a new paper in The Horological Journal. These techniques allowed researchers to determine how … Read more
The path to quantum supremacy is complicated by a fairy tale challenge: how do you carry a cloud without changing its shape? The possible solution sounds almost as fantastic as the problem. You could make the cloud dance as it travels, to the beat of a unique material known as a time crystal. Krzysztof Giergiel … Read more
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a kirigami-inspired mechanical computer that uses a complex structure of rigid, interconnected polymer cubes to store, retrieve and erase data without relying on electronic components.

After briefly being anointed king of the stock market, Nvidia has been hit hard. While that could be a warning sign for investors concerned that this year’s rally has relied too heavily on a few big tech names, there are many ways to avoid bubble-like prices while staying broadly invested. Last Tuesday, Nvidia briefly passed … Read more
When irradiated with infrared light, certain molecules, such as metal phthalocyanines, vibrate and generate small, local magnetic fields. Researchers have calculated these effects and want to experimentally prove and manipulate these fields for possible applications in quantum computing.

An artist’s rendering of a new method to create high-quality color centers (qubits) in silicon at specific locations using ultrafast laser pulses (femtosecond, or one quadrillionth of a second). The top right inset shows an experimentally observed optical signal (photoluminescence) from the qubits, with their structures shown at the bottom.
