A new quantum communication method uses the temporal Talbot effect to simplify high-dimensional quantum key distribution.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have built a generative AI model that reconstructs the three-dimensional geometry of molecules from the scattered ion ...

My academic path studying physics at Tsinghua University began in 1981 where I completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s before earning a PhD in 1992. I then did a postdoc at the Central Iron & Steel ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed ...

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

Like physics, math has its own set of “fundamental particles”—the prime numbers, which can’t be broken down into smaller natural numbers. They can only be divided by themselves and 1. And in a new ...

After the implementation of the Congzi26 dimensional manifold algorithm, can its valuation surpass OpenAI's $700 billion? Deep evaluation ...

In one of the biggest surprises of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, its target asteroid, Bennu, turned out to be a jagged, rugged ...

Gravity is by far the weakest of nature’s four fundamental forces, and physicists have spent decades asking a deceptively simple question: why? One answer, first sketched a century ago and refined ...

In 2020, astronomers discovered a violent cosmic event that has led them to rethink how extreme pairs of astronomical objects form. These pairs are capable of producing powerful cosmic collisions.

MIT physicists have built a powerful new microscope that uses terahertz light to uncover hidden quantum motions inside superconductors. By compressing this normally unwieldy light into a tiny region, ...
