AMES, Iowa – Martin Thuo likes to look for new, affordable and clean ways to put science and technology to work in the world. His lab is dedicated to an idea called frugal innovation: “How do you do ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A lattice of black lines overlays a yellow background. The lines shift and split causing the image to move and the lattice to ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The definition of topological states should be generalized. The work is published ...

After decades of exploration in nature’s smallest domains, physicists have finally found evidence that anyons exist. First predicted by theorists in the early 1980s, these particle-like objects only ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Scientists built a quantum gate linking four-state photons, showing complex quantum tasks can be done with fewer steps using qudits.

Most of the rubber found in a car’s tire today is synthetic, made from plastic. And when tire tread wears down from driving, tiny plastic particles are shed into the environment. They present a ...

Empty space, despite how we think of it, may not be as empty as we assume. Although we cannot detect the virtual particles present in empty space, their presence is necessary to predict, ...
