New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors ...

This secret geometry of wave functions went undetected for decades. But when quantum materials began to surprise physicists with inexplicable behaviors, physicists in the 1980s realized that some of ...

We demonstrate the utility and accuracy of a class of wave-functions based upon ancilla qubits in describing this crossover. Our work opens the way towards understanding metallic states with ...

Human Behavior The constant surveillance of modern life could worsen our brain function in ways we don't fully understand, disturbing studies suggest News By Simon Makin published 11 May 2025 ...

How Being Watched Changes How You Think We live in an era of constant surveillance. Psychology research shows how this might change how we perceive the world—even unconsciously ...

FBI scrutiny and visa revocations under President Trump are worrying STEM researchers as China looks to recruit them to come home.

In recent years, physicists have been trying to better understand the behavior of individual quantum particles as they move in space. Yet directly imaging these particles with high precision has ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists think that our universe started out as just a lot of quantum fluctuations. That means, if you’re able to calculate wave-function of those quantum fluctuations, you ...

Moreover, these factors differ in their responsiveness to general interventions. Thus, identifying these factors including their interactions with age, sex, and panel wave and conducting a systematic ...

Embedding techniques allow the efficient description of correlations within localized fragments of large molecular systems while accounting for their environment at a lower level of theory. We ...
