An international research team has controlled hybrid electron-photon quantum states in helium atoms. Control of these special quantum states was enabled by the pulse formation of very intense, extreme ...

Bluefors, the world's leading manufacturer of dilution refrigerators, has entered into a groundbreaking partnership with space resource company Interlune. Interlune's first-of-its-kind helium-3 ...

Chemistry and physics are combining forces at Columbia, and it's leaving everyone frustrated—in a good way. New work, published in Nature Physics, describes a new two-dimensional material capable of ...

Ben King didn’t set out to create a long-sought after material to be used in quantum sensing devices, but life, like quantum science, can be weird. King, a professor in chemistry at the University of ...

As anyone who's ever seen a science fiction movie knows, whipping up a black hole in a laboratory doesn't seem like such a good idea. But that didn't stop researchers in England who wanted to see if ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

C&EN’s latest podcast, Inflection Point, leans on our 100-year archive to trace headline topics in science today back to their disparate and surprising roots. In each episode, we explore three ...

Quantum computers are an exciting frontier for the scientists developing the systems, which use quantum particles to perform complex and multidimensional calculations, and for the researchers figuring ...
