Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum ...

Reservoir computing is a promising machine learning-based approach for the analysis of data that changes over time, such as ...

As quantum Hall effects interact with subtle material vibrations, energy conversion occurs naturally, pointing toward ultra-efficient, low-voltage operation ...

A new study examined the mechanism governing the nonlinear Hall effect, paving the way for battery-free devices.

A new study explores how EOS transmits ultrashort laser pulses through crystals that change in response to an applied electric field. This technique allows researchers to accurately capture the shape ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling energy inside our cells. Yet a new line of research argues that protons in ...

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of measurement itself. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Graphic illustrating the difference in energy between running a quantum clock (left: a single electron hopping between two nanoscale regions) and reading the ticks of the clock (right). The energy ...
