History has a flawless track record of foreshadowing trouble for next-big-thing technologies and innovations -- and quantum computing just made the list.

A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal crystal repeat in space. Examples once existed in only complex, quantum matter, ...

The cloud gave enterprises speed and scale. Post-quantum security will determine whether it remains safe in this new era of disruption.

They are this year’s winners of the Nobel chemistry prize, chosen for their work on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These, said Heiner Linke, who chairs the chemistry-prize committee, are like hotels ...

From computer chips to quantum dots—technological platforms were only made possible thanks to a detailed understanding of the used solid-state materials, such as silicon or more complex semiconductor ...

QKD uses photons — the smallest units of light — to securely transmit encryption keys. Any attempt to intercept them disturbs their quantum state, alerting the sender and receiver. This makes QKD ...

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in time itself. Instead of atoms arranging neatly into repeating patterns, ...

Researchers have created a chip-based device that can split phonons—tiny packets of mechanical vibration that can carry information in quantum systems. By filling a key gap, this device could help ...

Milena Aarts looks into how birds use the Earth's magnetic field to migrate south, and why it's the subject of key research ...

By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position without violating Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

If you want to emboss leather, you press a stamp into the material, leaving behind a pattern in relief. Several years ago, chemist Thomas Kempa envisioned that a similar principle could be used to ...
