In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

A tiny silica bead, just 100 nanometers across, sits suspended in a vacuum and vibrates under the grip of laser light. Those ...

The study was led by Professor Richard Schmidt and his Quantum Matter Theory group, including doctoral student Eugen Dizer. It was published in Physical Review Letters and funded by Heidelberg ...

Researchers have, for the first time, described the properties of one-dimensional anyons and outlined how these particles can be observed using existing experimental setups.

An 11-year-long survey of the particles and antiparticles near our sun is unlocking our solar system’s history – and raising new mysteries about the particles themselves. “It’s like when you walk into ...

Cell-to-cell communication through nanosized particles, working as messengers and carriers, can now be analyzed in a whole new way, thanks to a new method involving CRISPR gene-editing technology. The ...

Programmable cell‑like particles seek out drug‑resistant bacteria, inject lethal payloads, and spare beneficial microbes.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image and fluorescence image of fluorescent magnetic Janus particles (top left), Schematic diagram of N protein detection using antibody-conjugated fluorescent ...
