When future users of quantum computers need to analyze their data or run quantum algorithms, they will often have to send encrypted information to the computer.
Because of this requirement, researchers from DTU Physics and the University of Toronto...
Water is unlike other substances because its solid form -- like this iceberg -- is less dense than its liquid form -- like this ocean. Scientists are studying other weird properties of water. Credit: Wikimedia Commons
Water has many unusual...
Left and right figures are schematic diagrams of glassy solid in two and three dimensions. Modality of the dynamics of glassy solid in different dimensions is illustrated. In three dimensions, a particle vibrates inside a cage formed by neighboring...
Picture of the distribution of the genetic information in an Escherichia coli bacterial cell: Physicists at Bielefeld University are the first to photograph this distribution at the highest optical resolution without anchoring the cells on a glass substrate. Credit:...

We all know that water melts at 0°C. However, 150 years ago the famous physicist Michael Faraday discovered that at the surface of frozen ice, well below 0°C,...

An international team of scientists has succeeded in making further improvements to the...
Step edges on topological crystalline insulators may lead to electrically conducting pathways where electrons with opposite spin spin move in converse directions -- any U-turn is prohibited. Credit: Thomas Bathon/Paolo Sessi/Matthias Bode
Physicists of the University of Würzburg have made...
Red arrows represent electron spin orientations in a portion of the YbMgGaO4 crystal structure, where antiferromagnetic interactions between groups of magnetic moments cause neighboring spins to align anti-parallel to one another. This mechanism is partially responsible for the quantum...
Quantum droplets may preserve their form in absence of external confinement because of quantum effects. Credit: IQOQI/Harald Ritsch
In experiments with magnetic atoms conducted at extremely low temperatures, scientists have demonstrated a unique phase of matter: the atoms form a...

Technion researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, that laser emissions can be created through the interaction of light and water waves. This "water-wave laser" could someday be used in tiny...
